Five Gestures to Boost Productivity and List Your Mood
Educators, parents and entrepreneurs understand the value of connecting
with others. It is essential to every aspect of our lives. Whether we want to
connect with our children, other teachers, or grow our businesses, we need to be
cognizant of its importance developing meaningful and long-lasting
relationships.
The following five strategies will not only help in lifting your mood but will also aid in productivity.
Compliment Someone
We are always so busy that we often tend to overlook the small things
that people do. Noticing and appreciating them elevates the mood of the other
person, which in turn helps us feel good about ourselves.
Work Together
Working on a project together deepens our connection with others,
allowing that time to be more meaningful. It also gets the job done faster
while you make lasting memories.
Genuine
Show people that you genuinely care about them and what they have to
say. We tend to be so busy with our own lives that we forget to be fully
present in the moment. There are three things that can be done mitigate the
situation: make eye contact, say thank you and mean it, ask questions about the other person, and actually
listening to what they have to say. Even if we do everything right but we lack
authenticity and integrity, everything falls apart. As far as I am concerned,
this is the most important way of creating long-lasting relationships.
Smile
I know that you have probably heard this several times before but it bears
mentioning again because it does not happen often enough. It is rare to see
someone smile unless the other person goes out of their way to help them. Part
of being genuine is to smile and show people that they matter. This brightens
up the other person’s day while lifting your own mood.
Working and taking care of our families is wonderful but we cannot forget
to take care of ourselves or we will burn out. Read inspirational messages like
the ones I post on twitter, go out with friends, take your children to the park
and converse with other parents or educators, and indulge in a hobby.
