Encouragement

Everyone could use a dose of encouragement when they do something particularly well. It helps if you’ve made it a point to create a personal and professional circle that is quick to notice and hand out words of encouragement, but bear in mind that you can always start with self-encouragement. Every time you deride yourself or let little things get you down, you accumulate negative feelings that can eventually turn into major problems. Make it a point to stay alert for moments where you can encourage yourself for a good effort, a good outcome, or simply having had a good day. You spend all day providing valuable support to your team and your customers – it’s just as easy to transfer that to yourself by making self-encouragement a priority.
