Happiness Habits At Work

Love Propels Excellence

"I really enjoy helping people, I find it interesting and rewarding."   Her sparkling smile and the powerful positive feelings radiating across the counter showed the truth of her words.

Others who had worked at that location for five years or more really seemed to enjoy their jobs.

They truly seemed to enjoy helping people who came into their office.

They take pride in doing even routine work extraordinarily well. Each job was, after all, extraordinarily important to their customers. They really enjoyed helping people achieve their goals.

This sort of thing just doesn't happen by accident.  Their extraordinary management set and supported a powerfully positive tone.

Down the street at Radio Shack Aubrey really enjoys electronics.  He was honestly excited about helping me solve my electronics problem.  He knew his stock well and he was just as delighted as I was to fix my burnt out plug.

Loving what you're doing and enjoying helping people makes it easy to perform well.  It's fun and rewarding to do what people need help with getting done.

The Best Way To Excel At Anything Is To Cultivate A Love For It!

Isn't this a far more rewarding, meaningful and enjoyable than a "another day another dollar" or "been there done that" attitude?  The Fault Finding Feel Goods are big barriers to happiness.

Which group of people are more likely to be rewarded, recognized, promoted?

Which group has more fun on the job, goes home happier and has better prospects for the future?

The Golden Question - Excel and Do Well

The Golden Question anchors Happiness Habit®  More Joy on the Job programs.  Given your job and work situation:      

• What Makes People Want To Perform Their Very Best And Excel In The Work Place?
  
  
• What are YOU doing to create a climate where people WANT to perform their very best and excel?
      
• What makes YOU want to perform YOUR very best and try hard to excel at YOUR job?
       
• How are YOU sharing your Joy on the Job, Excel and Do Well insights and beliefs with others? 

Identifying and articulating specific values, beliefs and factors that make people WANT to excel and do well is a key step to achieving them.

If we don't think about them we usually don't attain them.  People are less productive and less joyful than they could be, a major loss for employers and employees.

See It To Achieve It - People must know what excellence and enjoyment on the job is to achieve it. We understand what excellence is in order to attain it ourselves.

We hope the Golden Question helps bring greater happiness and excellence to your organization!

What Discourages Deflates Distresses?

Knowing what to avoid and eliminate is also an important part of the Golden Question:

• What Discourages, Deflates and Distresses People in the Workplace?
  
  
• What Discourages, Deflates and Distresses People in YOUR workplace?
  

• What are you doing to create a climate that prevents or eliminates these discouragers, deflators and distressors from hurting your work environment?

• What discourages, deflates and distresses YOU in your  workplace?
• How can you prevent these distracting, damaging negative influences from hurting your productivity and enjoyment on the job?

Devoting time to examining these questions carefully and answering the flip side of the Golden Question in writing helps to identify and intensify ways to address them.

Happiness Habits At Work

Enjoying Work - How To Enjoy Your Job

(Print Happiness Habits At Work Card in Color)

1. Smile, Speak To Strangers, Make Eye Contact - Offer a sincere, warm welcome or a fond farewell. When you summon up a genuine sense of fun and sparkle and then honestly project it, you can’t help but take on a more positive mood yourself.

2. Move From Problems To Solutions Quickly - Problems fuel people’s anger and distress, shifting attention to positive solutions makes everyone feel much better. Focus on the benefits to everyone involved and what you really want to achieve long term.

3. Eliminate All Unnecessary, Non-Productive Negativity - Amazing improvements in happiness come from simply deciding to eliminate all non-productive, unnecessary negativity from our lives. Try it, it is simple and it really builds happiness. 

4. Choose Your Mood & Attitude - Decide how you want to feel. Picture yourself smiling, happy, successful. Feel those feelings, honestly project them, they’ll be yours.

5. Celebrate Success & Achievement - Your own and other people’s successes. This propels everyone to achieve more and provides good positive role models.

6. Avoid The Fault Finding Feel Goods - Habitually happy people don’t blame, criticize or condemn others. They don’t try to elevate themselves by focusing on other people’s faults. They focus on positive objectives, achieving success and long term goals.

7. Don’t Beat Yourself Up, Criticize or Condemn Yourself - Beating yourself up reinforces errors you want to avoid by burning them into memory. Direct your time and attention toward meaningful actions that strengthen skills and build future successes.

8. Rebel Against Unhappiness - Don’t hand control of your thoughts, actions, feelings and well-being over to people who try to hurt, anger or depress your spirits.

9. Make Work Fun - Creatively reinvent boring, difficult or distasteful tasks into games, involve other people, plot your progress, tie everything you do to meaningful goals. Fuel your work and your life with fun, let a spirit of fun propel your happiness and success.

10. Define Yourself As A Happy Person - Decide what sort of person you want to be, let that goal become a role that is real and authentic for you. Practice being your Best Self all of the time. If we don’t decide what sort of person we want to be and become, our environment and our experience determine our identity and our destiny for us.

11. Have High Integrity, Live According To Good Values - If you live by the best values, no matter how things turn out, you are comforted knowing you did YOUR best.

12. Try To Have A Good Time All The Time - Make the most of every moment.
