When we choose to worry over what we don't possess,we actually stand at a risk of losing whatever we already have.1.Therefore,there is no way we can succeed in life unless our mind is first happy and satisfied and then yearns for more.Here are some ways to help you to be more grateful.
Choose to be grateful.Well,whether to complain about what you don't have or to be thankful for what you have is a conscious choice you make yourself.Treasure what you have and strive for what you need next.Some are always worrying over what they don't have or can't achieve in the present.2.
Look around you.When in fear or frustration,look around yourself for examples of patience and gratitude.3. Observe how trees stand tall and brave the fury of storms,rains and the ever-changing seasons.
4.Once you have the mindset to be first thankful for the life you have,you will find hundreds of ways to do that.As you live your normal daily routine,you will find a number of hidden opportunities to be thankful for the bounties you have.
Think positive to achieve positive.5.Have you ever noticed that if you keep telling yourself that the present tough times shall pass and you are happy with what you have,you actually get the.courage to deal with the crisis? The human mind is a powerful machine.To flunk positive and steer the course of actions that way is a power that lies absolutely within!
A.Your thoughts can shape your life.
B.Look for hidden ways to be thankful.
C.Think about why you should be grateful.
D.After all,it is our mind that rules our body.
E.Helping others is just one of such examples!
F.Learn to observe how birds are grateful to nature for their food.
G.Actually,it is merely a way to waste the precious present moments.
As a manager,you want to help your employees.And that's great.When an employee comes to you with a problem,you may tend to jump in and offer advice.While your intentions are noble,you may end up helping where it isn't actually needed or taking over the conversation altogether.
You go into rescuer mode,and it's understandable.You're trying to help out wherever you can.But at the end of the day,you're very;tired because you've taken on more than you should have,and your team member is depressed because responsibilities were taken away from them.You thought you were helping as much as you could,but instead you undermined their morale as they had no chance to achieve something independently.
The easiest way to avoid this situation is to be lazy.You just ask questions,especially,ask the laziest coaching question:"How can I help?"
This is the laziest way to find out what your employee needs from you.By asking something like this,you force the person to decide what they need exactly—they might not even know yet themselves.Or they know what they need and will tell you,in the hope that you'll agree with whatever it is.Either way,asking the lazy question creates a win-win situation,as it results in a clear and direct request that will lead to the solution your employee is looking for.
By asking this lazy question,you avoid jumping in to help in the way which you first think is needed—no more rescuer mode!Asking questions is a self-management tool because it keeps you lazy and yet shows your curiosity.
Be lazy and also be outspoken.Ask your employee,“What do you want from me?”Of course,be careful of how you say this,because not everyone will like this.Ask your employee,really,truly,“What can I do to help?”
It sounds easy,but it can be hard to resist the temptation to jump in and help someone,or to offer advice. However,in the end,you'll find that asking the lazy question makes you more useful to those you manage,and it will help you work less hard and.have more impact.
