How to be happy at work is as easy as you can imagine. Try these simple tactics to manage stress better and improve your overall happiness.
1) Begin the day with the resolve
“Today
I will become more aware of one particular action.” Then place your
attention on it throughout the day. Some simple suggestions: opening
doors, greeting customers or clients, reaching for the phone. This will
broaden your sense of self-awareness and can help you to identify
aspects of your work personality that you have previously ignored, such
as what you struggle with and what you truly enjoy.
2) Beginning a new project
Before beginning a new project or meeting or conversation, ask yourself, “What do I most want to see happen from this?”
Whenever stress
becomes a distraction nightmare, remember this goal and steer the
conversation or workload back in the right direction.
3) Outside the box
If you find yourself straining to think “outside the box,” explore what made up that box.
Understanding how you got to where you are is the first step in going beyond that point.
4) To be perceived
Take a few minutes to think about how you would like to be perceived at the conclusion of a meeting, an email, a call.
Would you like to
come across as fearsome, gentle, resolute, inclusive, open-minded,
unwavering? How do you feel when you perceive others that way? Strive to
become a coworker that you would want to interact with and more
opportunities will come to you.
5) How you are holding something?
Notice how you are holding something in your hand—a steering wheel or a cup, for instance.
What is the
quality of your grip? Sometimes we exert so much force holding things,
it exacerbates tension without our realizing it. Learn to recognize
tension right as it begins so you can resolve it before it leads to a Happy quotes.
6) Potential conflict
In a situation of potential conflict, let compassion guide you.
What would you
want someone to say to you if they were upset with you? What would you
want to hear if you knew there were two legitimate sides of the story?
7) Helping someone at work
If you are feeling down or discouraged, consider helping someone at work.
The distraction
will not only help you return to your work with a fresh mind, but
science has identified a happiness-helping feedback loop. The more you
help, the happier you can be.
8) Sending an important email
Before sending an important email, send it to yourself first.
When you open it
as the recipient, you’ll take in the tone, implications and omissions
that you might otherwise miss when you’re focused on composition.
