"It is good people who make good places". -Anna SewellWork is, well, work. From tight deadlines to coworker communication, it can be challenging to keep on top of it all and doing it with a smile. In this article, we discuss why positivity is important in the workplace and how you can develop and maintain a more positive attitude at work.

personal and professional life. It can even positively affect those around you.

CREATE A POSITIVE
ENVIRONMENT
When you implement a positive attitude at work, coworkers will
likely follow suit. Being positive is contagious.
1.
Reduces stress
Work demands can cause stress and anxiety. By changing your
reaction to stressors at work and instead, thinking positively, you can become
more productive, thus, eliminating further stress.
2.
Increases productivity
levels
When you feel better, you think better. Once you begin to allow
positivity to resonate with you, you will notice your willingness to take on
challenging but rewarding tasks and projects. Being less distracted, you’ll be
able to get your work completed more efficiently.
3.
Produces more energy
Adopting a more positive outlook at work will give you more
energy. Negative thinking expends a lot of unnecessary energy. In a positive
frame of mind, you’ll no longer dread tasks. You’ll look forward to them.
4.
Improves customer
relations
A positive attitude is foundational to quality customer service.
How you approach them has a direct result on the success of your position and
company. Your positive attitude will make your customers feel good. That, in
turn, will promote a long-lasting and successful relationship with them.
5.
Demonstrates leadership
capabilities
Managers and leaders look to promote employees who can influence
others positively. When you have a positive attitude, you open yourself up to
new and exciting work opportunities.
6.
Improves decision-making
When you have a positive attitude, you become a better decision-maker. Armed with a positive outlook, you’ll consider more favorable outcomes. You’ll see the good that your decision can bring instead of potential negative consequences previously based upon fear and negativity.
7.
Motivates others
Keeping a positive attitude at work inspires others to drop negative habits and become more positive. By your example, they’ll likely start to realize how positivity can benefit them and begin working on cultivating a positive attitude for themselves.
DEVELOPING A POSITIVE
ATTITUDE
Here are a few ways you can begin to develop a more positive attitude in your day-to-day work.
1. Avoid gossip
Gossip can dismantle teamwork and impact morale in a negative
way. To keep positive and productive, avoid gossip and gossipers.
2. Reduce complaints
Complaining is the antithesis of positivity and also,
counterproductive. Plus, it often makes you feel worse about the situation, not
better. Try to become more conscious of when and why you complain. Doing so
will help you reduce the negative behavior as well as find more positive and
productive ways to talk about these issues at work.
3. Use a positive vocabulary
Positive vocabulary can improve your overall attitude. Try to
replace negative words with positive ones when they come up in conversation.
4. Smile
Smiling can have mood-boosting effects. Other people are also
more likely to smile around you and change their attitudes based on your facial
expression.
5. Put others first
Try doing nice things for others in your office without expecting anything in return. Selfless acts of kindness most often result in appreciation from your colleagues, which, in turn, makes you both feel good and more positive.
MAINTAINING A POSITIVE
ATTITUDE
After you’ve identified ways to develop positivity, here are
some ways you can maintain that attitude.
1. Get enough rest
You’re more likely to be in a good mood and have a clear mind if
you get enough sleep, period.
2. Take breaks
Taking breaks during the day will help you reduce potential stress and negativity while refreshing your mindset. Go for a short walk or do some light stretches.
3. Practice gratitude
Be mindful of all the things you’re thankful for. Focusing on
the good in both your work and personal spheres will make you react more
patiently and positively to stressful situations. It can be helpful to write
down a list of the things you are most thankful for on a daily or weekly basis.
4. Keep visual reminders
Visual reminders to stay positive can help you maintain a good
outlook even during stressful events at work. Tape small notes to your computer
or around your workspace with a positive affirmation to keep perspective
throughout the day.
5. Interact with positive
people
Positivity is contagious. Being around positive people will help you maintain a positive mindset.
Till we come your way
next week Monday, remain blessed! Thanks
for your time and let’s stay safe to stay alive.
