Last week I introduced you to a guest blogger and today she continues her five-part special postings. Please welcome , author of FITpreneur.
Everyone has days where work is
stressful, and we feel that we’re not doing anything right. These are the
perfect moments to take a step back and think about what we’re grateful for.
What we achieve isn’t by accident;
it is by repetition. If we focus on gratitude and positivity, it will grow and become
a habit. Gratitude increases happiness, and there is a large body of research
that indicates the correlation
between happiness and success. To help your business and overall wellness thrive, there are things
you should be grateful for each day.
Be Grateful for Those Around You
In our careers, we all need a
support system. These could be co-workers, clients, or even the nanny who
watches your children so you can focus on your work knowing your children are
safe. Instead of feeling shame that you can’t do everything independently,
shift your thinking and be grateful that there are people in your life who love
you and want to help you succeed. Always have gratitude for the people who have
chosen to be in your corner.
Be Grateful for Progress, No Matter How Slow
Acknowledging work progress is
similar to acknowledging progress in weight loss. It’s a journey. Some days
will be better and more productive than others. You’ll encounter periods where
you feel as though progress has halted and you’ve reached a plateau. The key is
to power through and continue feeling proud of the small goals you accomplish,
because those little victories are putting you one step closer to reaching
bigger goals.
In fact, we should all learn to be
thankful for stagnation. How boring would it be if we had no problem succeeding
immediately in life? Trying harder makes victory more sweet. And if you feel
discouraged, remember where you started at the very beginning and it will be
easier to appreciate how far you’ve come. That brings me to my next and final
point…
Be Grateful for Yourself
When we think of gratitude, most
people focus on being grateful for external people and circumstances. We should
also be habitually grateful for ourselves and the work we do. You’re taking the
initiative to pursue a career you love, and you’re working through challenges
as they arise.
Gratitude is simple, yet complex
at the same time. The first step is feeling gratitude, but the second step is
showing it. And finally, there’s accepting that people show their gratitude in
different ways.
