Despite our best efforts to focus and stay organized, we all fall prey to procrastination from time to time. Break the habit and deliver timely results by acknowledging you are procrastinating, asking yourself why and finding the right solution to counter it.

There is a deep satisfaction in knowing you can do anything you put your mind to once you’ve proven to yourself that you have what it takes to commit, commence and complete.

When your people are free from the preoccupation of self-doubt, anxiety and scarcity, the collective team will experience a high level of creativity, productivity, loyalty and inclusivity, and that’s when work becomes a form of human expression and connection, not just a paycheck.

When you find yourself doing the same things day in and day out, and you can’t keep track of what day it is anymore, it might be time to add some richer experiences to your calendar (maybe even some that are out of your comfort zone) and notice if your perception of time changes.

Whether you realize it or not, you have a personal brand. And the makeup of that personal brand is mainly attributed to how you speak about yourself, your experiences and other people. It’s never too late to enhance your personal brand with positive language. People will catch on quickly, and you will be amazed by how differently they respond to you.

When you adopt a gratitude mindset, you practice noticing the good in all things and simply noticing changes everything.

When you practice breaking through your comfort zone by doing smaller things that are uncomfortable often, over time you will open yourself to new possibilities. And, when the time comes to dive into something big, you’ll be confident in your ability to get through the fear, learn the necessary skills and reach new heights in work and life.

Whether in work or in life, simply saying, “I see you. I know you made a difference,” is one of the greatest positive motivators for which you can’t even begin to quantify the upside.

To savor is to hold on to the good thoughts, emotions and images that come from a recollection. You can savor your most recent experiences all the way to your earliest memories. When you do this repeatedly, over time, you will build a reel of positive thoughts in your mind that you can pull up at a moment’s notice, which is especially helpful in difficult times.

You’d be surprised how much taking the time to celebrate has a lasting impact. Infuse joy in the journey and people will never forget how it feels to hit pause on the busyness to savor the satisfaction of a job well done.

Although it’s difficult, when someone has upset you, having a constructive conversation and closing out the issue with the other person will clear your mind, restore your connection and put your working relationship back on track sooner rather than later.

As you build more and more trusting relationships within your team, so many good things happen- more energy, more productivity, more joy, more purpose, more retention and more growth. You not only achieve great relationships, you achieve great results and what’s more, you eventually achieve an entire company culture of trust.

Instead of feeding negative self-talk through your mind like an old movie filmstrip and then wallowing in your own tale of woe, flip the script! View bothersome things as opportunities to change your narrative, own your actions and create a more positive life.

Negativity is contagious, but so is positivity! So, choose your own vibe wisely and make others aware of theirs.
