Try to share a positive outlook

We all know that things are tough at the moment, the petrol prices, the utility bills, what to do with the kids during holidays, even what the hell are our politicians doing?
However, I would always encourage my clients to remember this lovely quote from Philip Reiter
"A positive mindset brings positive things"
So this week I am happy to share something I found whilst doing a little research for one of my "Student Coach" courses, that fits beautifully into what I try to infuse into your week.
Here are 10 ways to make a real difference to your outlook

1. Pace yourself; Rushing tasks will create errors that inevitably you will have to redo
2. Support; Share your achievements with others and support the results of colleagues and friends
3. Collaboration; Never be afraid to ask for help and collaborate with other others to achieve mutual goals
4. Boring jobs; Bite the bullet and face  mind-numbing tasks head on
5. On vacation days; Try different activities on your day off. Variety is the spice of life and leaves you in a more positive mood
6. Be positive; Infuse positive emotions into your work and colleagues and enjoy the contagious nature
7. Compassion; Remain compassionate to negative colleagues. People are usually negative for a reason
8. Office politics; Don't get bogged down in office politics focus on what is needed to move forward
9. Criticisms; Understand any criticism aimed at you and used the feedback to improve your work
10. Adapt; Business changes to survive. Make sure you are open and adaptable rather than resisting change

If you can integrate some of the above into your week, I can guarantee, it'll make you or someone around you feel a little better.
