Good Food For Thought...Stay Positive
It is a hectic time of year. Christmas is coming...do you have all of your shopping complete? Flu season got you or other family members down? Busy time at work keeping you away from your family? Relatives coming into town? It's GO GO GO, NOW NOW NOW and everyone is just getting mentally and physically worn out it seems. It's a highly stressful time for many people.
Today was a perfect example at the office that a Positive Attitude can be contagious. Is YOURS worth catching? And there is NO BETTER TIME than NOW to keep in mind what a POSITIVE ATTITUDE can do for you and everyone else! It can be a small adjustment that can make a world of difference to YOU and to OTHERS around you!!
The day started off kind of hum-drum, so I had a quick motivational staff meeting followed by some positive one-on-one interaction with the crew. I reminded everyone what a difference they can make if they focus on keeping a positive attitude. Remember YOU have the choice everyday as to the attitude you bring. You either let it happen, or MAKE it happen. Soon we had everyone having a good time and getting things done. It's an easy thing to do with a little focus and a little effort.
Here's a few things that can make and keep you and others positive:
*SMILE!!! Everyone likes to see a smile. It's hard NOT to smile back.
*Be crazy and have fun - sing at work...what a concept! Life is too short...enjoy it.
*Thank someone sincerely for a job well done!
*Give someone a hug!
*Lend a helping hand without being asked!
*Be generous with praise, "high fives" and "atta-boy's"
*Let someone know what a difference they have made in your day.
*Take a minute to share laughter with someone.
*Lend an ear to someone who needs it most. Listen first. Remember, you have two ears, and only one mouth. So we should listen twice as much as we talk.
*Practice random acts of kindness. Do something unexpected for someone.
*Contact a friend. A quick call, note, email or letter can be all it takes to make someones day!
*Tell someone dear, that you Love them! Warm a heart!
Remember,you can't control everything that happens to you, but you CAN control how you react to it. There are several things that you can do to make a positive difference everyday.
Live your life with ENTHUSIASM...make TODAY a great day!!!
