The Power of Positive People
There are people in our lives who lift us up and make us smile. They’re fun to be around and make the workplace more enjoyable.
These people radiate positivity and choose to be “realistic optimists”, meaning they view events
realistically, even stressful ones, yet they look for ways to create positive outcomes.
We all need positive people in our lives and you can be one too. Try these simple steps each day.
1. Choose happiness rather than complaining.
2. Make gratitude a habit. Think of what you are grateful for.
3. Smile! People will smile back and brighten your day.
4. Seek the Silver Lining. You can learn a lot from mistakes.
5. Know what you can and can’t control. Focus on those things you can.
6. Prioritize happiness. Surround yourself with
positive people.
If you don’t think you can do them all at once, choose one or two to start.
