How do you stay positive?

Posted by Lindsey Marx @lindseymarx, Nov 1, 2018

12 Habits for Well-Being, the habit for November is Practice Positivity!

I want to know how you stay positive when you are having a tough day at work or home, when things never seem to play out right, when you haven't gotten enough sleep, during the holidays when there is so much to do and it seems like there is not enough time, or any other challenge life throws at you.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Well-Being @ Work Community group.

Amy, I try to focus on gratitude and use breathing techniques. (Thank you Mindfulness in Medicine!) Long walks and a good nap can work wonders too.

As for dealing with teenagers, I'm still working on adding more techniques to my toolkit. Over and over in my head, I recite, "Do not engage! Do not engage! Do not engage!" and remind myself of all the reasons he is loved so much, and that this is just part of learning and growing. These traits will develop and serve him well as an adult.

Glad you are utilizing what you learned in the Mindfulness in Medicine class for Mayo Clinic employees @tinabialzik ! If others want to sign up for this class, you can find it HR Connect. Also, look for the Mindful Living class to begin in 2019!

Positivity Challenge: I want you.. yes you.. to take 2 minutes and share 3 positive qualities about yourself. Don't think "I'll do it later"... because you probably wont. Go!
