Many people grow up hearing that positivity is key. Unfortunately, as we grow up, it can be harder and harder to be positive. Life has many snags and issues that we all must learn to deal with. Work can be an especially stressful place, with deadlines and clients and co-workers.

HAVE A BOWL OF HEALTHY SNACKS ON YOUR DESK

Set a little bowl of wrapped granola bars, tiny boxes of nuts, or raisins on your desk for a quick energy boost. Of course, your co-workers will drop by to say hello and gaze longingly at your snacks, so be ready to share. Sharing a little treat and chatting with your co-workers can lighten your day and add a bit of positive energy to others’ day as well.

DON’T MULTITASK

You heard, right? Contrary to popular belief, your brain isn’t made for multitasking. One study found that people tend to overestimate their ability to do two or things at once. When you try to multitask, you’re putting undue stress on one part of your brain and aren’t using your mind to its full potential. It may sound boring, but you’re more productive when you do one task at a time entirely before you move onto the next job. Try it.

SAY THANK YOU

Adding positive energy at work is as easy as a simple thank you. Being grateful is a small action that reaps big rewards. Saying thank you at work helps others feel appreciated and valued. It takes just a minute to say it, but you’ll feel positive about yourself, too.

BE A LEARNER

When work becomes predictable and rote, you get dull in the brain. Being a learner keeps you mentally fresh. It instills creativity and enhances your mental flexibility. Researchers say that people who keep learning are less apt to underperform or get stagnant at work. Stir up your desire to learn anything you can about your job.

REDUCE YOUR STRESS

Work stress is real. Hours on end at your computer, intense meetings, and long Skype calls raise your stress levels over the top. You can add some positive energy at work with a walk during your lunch break or squeeze a squishy stress ball that you keep on your desk. Try doing some breathing exercises.

LEAVE WORK AT THE OFFICE

If you have a stressful job or a job that can be brought home, it can become easy for your life to be overwhelmed with work. If you vow to leave work at home and spend your personal time with family, friends, and your hobbies, work will appear much less like an albatross and must more like a part of life.
