By It’s gratitude challenge time! I’ve got a tough one for you today. Do you think you’re up for it? Your challenge is to be grateful for work.
work – noun. activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result.
Today/This week, when someone loads you up with more work (new or old, small or large, volunteer or paid), challenge yourself to approach it with the mindset of gratitude. Here’s some help if you can’t get past the negativity.
I am excited to have this additional work because I am…
- grateful for the brain stimulation;
- grateful for the paycheck;
- grateful to work with others;
- grateful to help others;
- grateful to learn a new skill;
- grateful to dust off some old skills;
- grateful to mentor others;
- grateful for the billable hours;
Some of those reasons are ‘better’ than others, but all of them start you down the positive path. I like re-reading the definition and focusing on achieving a purpose or result.
Good luck!
