Are you trying to figure out how to be positive
at work?
00:00:03
Perhaps you're in a lull in your career or
there's just stuff going on and it doesn't
00:00:06
seem very positive and you're trying to figure
out how to do just that.
00:00:10
Well in this video, I'm going to share with
you six tips on how to be positive while at
00:00:15
work.
00:00:17
If you stay tuned to the end of this video,
I'm going to share with you a free download
00:00:21
on additional tips on how to bring positivity
to work.
00:00:25
Hi, if you're new here, welcome.
00:00:27
My name is Adriana Girdler.
00:00:28
I'm a business productivity specialist with
over 20 plus years in the business.
00:00:33
Talking about positivity at work sometimes
feels like an oxymoron because we're like,
00:00:37
wait a minute, there's not much positivity.
00:00:40
Can I really do anything about it?
00:00:41
The answer is yes.
00:00:42
It's all about training yourself and in this
video, I'm going to teach you just that, some
00:00:47
really good techniques that you can start
using to bring positivity into work.
00:00:51
Attitude of gratitude.
00:00:54
I know you've heard this before, probably
that be grateful, it really does make a difference.
00:00:59
Well, guess what, it does.
00:01:01
I cannot tell you this enough from my own
personal experience and from sharing this
00:01:05
with my clients, but your attitude makes a
huge difference on your outlook.
00:01:10
If you start thinking in a more grateful way,
you start appreciating what you have around
00:01:16
you.
00:01:17
How do you do this?
00:01:18
How do you have an attitude of gratitude?
00:01:19
Well, there's a couple of really quick things
that you can do.
00:01:22
One is you can journal about things that you're
grateful for.
00:01:26
You can either do it at the beginning of the
day as to what you're looking forward to,
00:01:29
or at the end of the day when you're reflecting.
00:01:32
I actually have a really good video to check
out on how to journal.
00:01:35
Another thing, which is a really quick technique,
is if you're in a negative situation, it's
00:01:41
really easy to stew on that negativity.
00:01:43
Well, you don't really want to do that.
00:01:45
Do me a favor, spin it, turn it, turn it around
on its head, think of that situation and find
00:01:51
one gratitude out of it.
00:01:54
Let's say you just had an heated argument
with someone.
00:01:56
You may not be thinking anything grateful.
00:01:59
Well, look at this situation.
00:02:00
Did you learn anything?
00:02:01
Did you learn how that person was?
00:02:03
Something from this situation that you can
take out of it?
00:02:06
Find anything.
00:02:07
You'll be surprised how all of a sudden you
change, you let go, and it makes a huge difference.
00:02:12
Bring on that attitude of gratitude.
00:02:15
What's your one gratitude that you have at
work?
00:02:18
Write it in the comments below.
00:02:20
Reward yourself.
00:02:22
Sometimes when things are really busy or not
that positive, we can get really sucked into
00:02:26
that hole of negativity.
00:02:28
Well, sometimes a simple reward can bring
your spirits up and lift us out of that.
00:02:33
Perhaps, you have this big deadline and you're
really not looking forward to it and you've
00:02:37
done all those other great productivity techniques
that I've shared with you in the past and
00:02:40
it's still not doing it for you.
00:02:42
Guess what, reward yourself.
00:02:43
Heck, you want those pairs of shoes.
00:02:46
Make your end goal that if you finish it,
you get those pairs of shoes or perhaps you
00:02:50
just buy yourself some flowers.
00:02:51
But, there's something to be said about using
the carrot of rewarding yourself to get something
00:02:55
done.
00:02:57
Leave work where it's meant be at work.
00:03:00
What I mean by this is really make time and
room in your life for other things besides
00:03:06
work, for family, friends, hobbies, whatever
that may be.
00:03:10
Now, you may be saying to yourself, whoa,
Adriana, that's crazy talk.
00:03:13
You know how much work I have to do.
00:03:14
I'm going to say, whoa, wait a minute.
00:03:16
If you want to have positivity in your life
and you're constantly in a negative mode,
00:03:20
well then you need to balance that out or
even better yet have harmony with it.
00:03:25
Really take a look at what is it that you're
doing.
00:03:28
Are you overly too much in one way and therefore
you have a little bit of resentment because
00:03:32
you're working too much?
00:03:33
Give yourself a little bit of time to do the
things that are outside of work.
00:03:38
It really is important to connect inwardly
to your heart's desires, but it's not just
00:03:42
work, to really give yourself some balanced
sense and harmony in your life.
00:03:47
Keep your friends close, but keep your colleagues
even closer.
00:03:51
What do we mean by all this?
00:03:54
Well, think about it.
00:03:55
During the work week, you spend over 60% of
your time at work.
00:03:59
If that's all you're doing is focusing on
work and you're not connecting with people,
00:04:03
that makes it really difficult to really look
at that positive attitude.
00:04:07
Start making friends with your colleagues.
00:04:10
Just don't be in there and get things done
and just get it out of the way, but really
00:04:14
connect with people.
00:04:15
It's through that connection that we really
see the correlation with positivity.
00:04:19
It's when we're not connected that that negativity
can spiral out of control.
00:04:24
But when we get to know people, have connection
with those around us, particularly at work
00:04:28
when we do spend so much time there, it really
makes a difference in our attitude.
00:04:34
Start making some friends at work, really
get to know some people.
00:04:37
Just don't think about coming in and leaving
without connecting with those around you.
00:04:43
Create a positive environment.
00:04:44
Now, you may be saying to me, Adriana, I don't
have control over my office or at work where
00:04:50
everything is really negative.
00:04:51
I'm going to challenge you and say, I want
you to look at this differently.
00:04:54
Yes, you do.
00:04:55
You have control over your environment.
00:04:58
In your cubicle, your desk, your office, even
an area that you and your team is in, you
00:05:04
may want to put her on some inspirational
quotes.
00:05:06
You may want to put out some flowers.
00:05:08
Whatever it is, it's going to help you create
that positive environment.
00:05:11
I agree you don't have control over everything,
but you do have control over yourself.
00:05:15
It's your choice what you want to do it, so
empower yourself.
00:05:18
Say yes to a positive environment and start
spreading that love.
00:05:22
Put out the quotes, maybe pass off some notes
to people as well, telling them how appreciative
00:05:26
you are of them.
00:05:28
That makes a huge difference.
00:05:29
Yes, you do have the power to make change
in a negative situation.
00:05:33
You just have to choose to do it.
00:05:35
Smile.
00:05:36
Smile.
00:05:37
Oh my goodness, this is huge.
00:05:40
I know you hear it, and you've seen me a smile
constantly in my videos and I talk about it
00:05:45
all the time, but smiling makes a big difference.
00:05:48
In fact, when I go into see my clients, they
all say to me, Adriana, I always see you smiling
00:05:52
all the time.
00:05:53
It's awesome.
00:05:54
It really puts them in a good mood.
00:05:56
It does truly a difference.
00:05:58
If you're stressed out about something, really
try to fake it until you make it, as I like
00:06:02
to say it, and just put a smile on your face.
00:06:05
When you're walking down the hallway, smile
at someone.
00:06:07
Don't be so engrossed in what you're doing
and trying to rush to that next meeting.
00:06:11
Take that moment, put a smile on your face.
00:06:13
It may just make you happier, but I promise
you it will definitely have a positive difference
00:06:18
on those around you.
00:06:20
Okay.
00:06:21
Now that you now know how to bring positivity
into the workforce and that it's a choice,
00:06:26
another way to really help you get that positive
mindset is just this.
00:06:29
It's my download on mindfulness techniques
because guess what, being mindful is going
00:06:34
