I've written about workplace happiness in the past, but many of my suggestions require consistent effort. Here are five sure-fire, incredibly easy actions that will immediately improve your workplace experience:
之前我寫過職場(chǎng)幸福,但是我給出的大部分建議需要持之以恒。下面是5個(gè)有效又簡單的方法能夠快速提高你的職場(chǎng)體驗(yàn):
1. Take a "quiet minute" each morning
Within your morning routine, carve out a minute--60 seconds--to be silent, by yourself. Don't think about work. Read a poem or say a prayer. Or just rest your brain. You'll be amazed at how much extra energy it will create for the rest of your day.
1. 每天早上享受安靜的一分鐘
在你早晨的例行時(shí)間內(nèi),抽出一分鐘——60秒——獨(dú)自安靜的待著。不要想工作。讀一首詩或是禱告,哪怕只是讓大腦休息一下。你會(huì)驚訝于接下來的一天這一分鐘給你帶來的額外能量。
2. Smile more frequently
Smiling accomplishes two things. First, it tells your brain to be more happy. (Try being depressed with a huge grin stuck on your face.) Second, when you smile it tends to make other people smile, too. It's contagious, in a good way.
2. 多笑
微笑可以帶來兩個(gè)好處。一是告訴你的大腦快樂一些。(你試試咧著嘴笑還能郁悶嗎。)二是當(dāng)你笑的時(shí)候,其他人也會(huì)跟著笑。這是傳染的,當(dāng)然是以一種積極的方式。
3. Give yourself more credit
Take a second to give yourself a mental and emotional pat on the back every time you complete a project, even if it's only a small part of a larger effort. This creates a sense of accomplishment that keeps you from feeling overwhelmed.
3. 給自己更多的肯定
每完成一個(gè)項(xiàng)目后,抽時(shí)間給自己精神和情感上的慰藉,哪怕你的功勞只是九牛一毛。這能讓你有一種成就感,而不會(huì)自慚形穢。
4. Celebrate when you learn something
If you're alive, you can't help learning something new every day. The trick here is to recognize when you've learned something new and potentially important. That's a victory and worth a quiet, inner "hooray!"
4. 每當(dāng)學(xué)成什么就慶祝一下
如果你還活著,就避免不了學(xué)習(xí)新的東西。關(guān)鍵是你要認(rèn)識(shí)到自己學(xué)到的東西是新的而且有潛在價(jià)值。那就是一種勝利,值得在心理默默慶祝。
5. Enjoy human nature
Let's face it: People do really strange things. You have a choice when confronted with these foibles: 1) Be irritated; or 2) Be amused. Being irritated makes you miserable but being amused helps you find creative ways to work around the limitations of others.
5. 享受人性
讓我們面對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí):人們確實(shí)會(huì)做一些奇怪的事。當(dāng)你面對(duì)以下兩種小缺陷時(shí)可以做一個(gè)選擇:1)生氣;2)驚訝。生氣會(huì)讓你痛苦,但是驚訝卻能夠幫助你以富有創(chuàng)造力的方式處理他人的缺點(diǎn)。
6. Say thanks to those who do thankless tasks
You probably already know that you should thank co-workers and customers on a regular basis. But what about the janitors, the facilities people, the call center staff? They've got really tough jobs and seldom hear that their contributions are valued.
6. 對(duì)那些做不值得稱道的事的人說謝謝
基本上你應(yīng)該知道同事和客戶值得感謝。但是門衛(wèi)呢,器械維修工呢,客服中心的員工呢?他們的工作很辛苦卻很少得到他人對(duì)他們工作給予肯定。
