Hey ladies, we are in that time of the year when everyone is extremely busy and after themselves, not how you feel. Some people are highly motivated and have little difficulty pushing forward with difficult work—regardless of whether or not they get results or are appreciated. But not everyone. Many people can’t stand failing or being underappreciated when putting in hours of hard work.
We’ve all had those days where nothing seems to go our way. The printer jams right before a big meeting. A client won’t call you back or ignores your call(we will talk about how to handle this someday). A client refuses to pay for a service you render . You spend 6 hours in traffic and the client does not understand why you did not make it early for the meeting.
“On days like this, it can sometimes help to look for small victories,”. “For example, let’s say you really need to send out a big presentation. It’s due by the close of business, but you just can’t get moving on it. Rather than staring at a blank presentation for thirty minutes, put the project aside and find something ‘bite-sized’ to do.”
When you look for small victories, you force your brain to stop automatically focusing on negative stimuli. This counteracts the negativity bias and helps you be more aware of the positive things that are happening.
We hope to share four more tips for this December.
