Feel Great Every Day
By: Duke Rohe drohe@att.net
We all feel great once in a while, but imagine what it would be like to feel great at work, at home…anywhere, anytime. Tim Porter O’Grady said in his fine book Shared Leadership, “Where the organization touches the customer is where it has meaning”. There are few in the hospital that provide more meaning to our patients than Nursing Assistants. Today we salute you. Below is a worksheet on ways to feel great EVERYDAY. Enjoy.
1. Be comfortable in you own skin. In order to be different…you must first learn how to ‘be’.
2. Choose to be positive. Optimism is more fun than pessimism.
3. To gain more, appreciate more. A little is a lot when you appreciate it. Happiness is not where it’s happening: contentment is. Happiness seeks contentment. Contentment seeks peace.
4. Loose the word ‘weird’. We are all weird to someone. People aren’t weird; just different. Weird irritates, offends. Different is just different than you.
5. The antidote to fatigue is not rest. It’s whole-heartedness. You love doing what you love to do…so love more of it. Mentally approach everything as a challenge that is about to eat your dust.
6. Choose your words carefully. Your words are containers for power. They set in motion what they prophesy.
7. Envision where you want to be. Without a vision, we are stuck with a life on autopilot.
8. Worry less. Worry is just fret that hasn’t happened yet.
9. Choose to change (before you have to change).
Choose your view. It colors who you are.
