- Disconnect. Give yourself a break, chill out, and be with yourself. Give your brain a rest. Alerts are great at breaking focus and can be distracting. Try keeping your phone out of sight for a while. If you’re on a deadline, put your phone on “do not disturb,” move your tablet to a desk drawer, and close your email.
- Optimism. Think positive! Studies show that optimism can reduce stress and make you more productive.
- Congratulate Yourself. Pat yourself on the back! Reflect on your recent accomplishments. Then, make a point to congratulate yourself.
- Let happiness in. Attitude has a lot to do with how happy you are. If you wake up in a bad mood, you're not giving happiness a chance. Your attitude toward your day, especially when you first wake up, has a lot to do with how much happiness you'll be letting in that day. Just be aware, having a negative attitude is a happiness blocker.
