Every workplace has ‘those people’ you know…those really positive, energetic people who can walk into a room and suddenly your work-a-day job is far from boring! I mean, who doesn’t want to spend time with someone whose positive energy makes everyone who comes in contact with them, feel fantastic?
Funny as it sounds, these people are not necessarily the life of the party…instead it’s more like they embody a positive life force. You can’t help but want to be around them, especially at work where you often spend more time with your co-workers than you do with your family.
Wouldn’t you want to harness this type of positive energy for yourself? Don’t you want to bring your best self to work every day? Well you can! Here’s what you need to know.
When it comes to becoming your best self, it’s all about personal growth – Think about what is possible if you are willing to learn new skills and habits and practice them regularly. Sure, becoming your best self takes time, effort and commitment, but the pay-off is improved career satisfaction, relationships, happiness and health!
We all have the potential for success within us but like a garden, it has to be nurtured to grow. Here are 10 steps you can take to get you on the path to personal growth:
- Improve your work by challenging the way you did things yesterday
- Vow to become part of the solution rather than part of the problem
- Always give credit to others
- Stop making excuses and do things that matter
- Have a strong foundation in your personal life
- Practice having a strong sense of integrity
- Keep your promises to others and yourself
- Never stop learning
- Always find time to laugh and enjoy life
- Expect nothing less than the best from yourself
