Law of Attraction. Take it or Leave It. It does not matter what your beliefs are about law of attraction, the power of the mind, or even positive thinking as a catalyst. The important thing is that you enable, create or trigger good feelings within yourself as much as possible, especially during a stressful workday. Pre-plan and have some favourite photos with you to look at, inspiring music in the cubicle, bring a book of jokes or positive motivational quotes with you to enjoy during your break. You will be surprised at the difference it makes. Are you’re the boss? If you are not already leading the pack in promoting healthy positive thinking workplace culture, try this habit. Start every staff meeting with a fun or funny team building warm up. It could be as simple as pulling up an appropriate but hilarious YouTube video to start off the meeting or a funny 3 question multiple choice quiz you created. Try it and watch what happens.
