Look through the lens of appreciation and see all that is going right in your workplace.
LIVE A MISSION.
When completing those everyday tasks and projects, see how they contribute to a greater good.
DO ABOVE-AVERAGE WORK.

Every workplace is its own community, so reach across the fence, meet your neighbors, and build your network.
SHOW UP ON TIME.
Lower your stress and boost your reputation by being reliably prompt.
BE INCLINED TO SAY YES.
When requests, offers, and invitations come your way, look for every reason to accept.

SEEK OPPORTUNITY IN ADVERSITY.
When times get tough, search the situation for something to learn or some other way to benefit.
FIND THE RIGHT BALANCE.
Enjoy solitude and social time, work and play, activity and rest, indoors and outdoors...all in the same day...in measures that bring you fulfillment.
LEARN SOMETHING EVERY DAY.
As the sun sets, reflect on your day and identity one discovery you can put to work tomorrow.
