Take a short break if you can. Use it to meditate.

Try to understand what makes programming unpleasant for you. Is it the language? Is it the framework which you are using? Is it the tools? Is it a particular ecosystem? It's about what you are tasked to do? It's about how the development process at your organization is set up?

Try to change what bothers you. Try to identify what you would like and make a goal reaching that point.

If you end up discovering that you don't like anything about programming, so be it. Maybe it's time for a caree change.

In my previous job I was a game developer and I began to dislike what I did. Now I am a web developer and I enjoy it.
