„Der beste Weg, um sich aufzuheitern, ist, jemand anderen aufzuheitern“ – Mark Twain
“The best way to cheer yourself up is to cheer somebody else up” – Mark Twain
February’s daily actions from ‘Action for Happiness Org’s’ calendars are based on the keys to Relating: Connect with people. The daily actions have been selected to help make yourself and others happier.
Related Work Actions include:
Action 6: Look for the good in those around you
Action 14: Help out a friend / colleague in need
Action 23: Really listen to what people are saying
Action 26: Ask others about the things that have gone well
Perhaps this coming month with work, you might;
- Organise a virtual ‘tea break’ with colleagues. Or if you are returning to your workplace, why not have a face-to-face morning tea (social distancing respected). I’ve organised one for tomorrow morning, to welcome a team mate who has not been able to fly down due to lock down until now. I hope they like their surprise.
- Focus on being kind rather than being right.
- Check in on someone who may be struggling & offer to help
- Actively listen to what people say, without judging them
- Show an active interest by asking questions when talking to others.
Where ever you are around the globe, I hope that the actions from this month’s calendar, will help support yours and others career management plans, selfcare and wellbeing throughout the coming month and beyond.
