Having trouble staying positive this week? We all have those weeks at work that seem to never end and nothing goes our way…
How can you turn that frown upside down & go from having a bad week to a GREAT week?!
Try one or ALL of these 5 Ways to Stay Positive and soon you’ll be spreading positive vibes to your co-workers, friends, and family!
-
Go for a walk! Depending on your work schedule try and go for a peaceful walk (before work, at lunch, or after work) where you can enjoy your surroundings and listen to the world happening around you. This is a great way to get some positive endorphins pumping and take time for yourself.
-
Listen to an uplifting, educational or motivating podcast. When I’m overwhelmed at work or need someone else’s positivity to rub off on me…I’ll listen to a podcast by Smart Passive Income or Hidden Brain (NPR). Find a podcast or audio book that works for you. It’s a great way to learn something new and get inspired!
-
Turn up the volume! Sometimes a walk, podcast or book won’t cut it. We all have days where the only thing that will lift our spirits is blaring our favorite song or bands album while we’re on our way to work (or at our home office). I’m a huge fan of Spotify’s and their compilation playlists life…”Your Daily Mix” and “Release Radar.” They’re a sure-fire way to get you pumped and feeling positive!!
-
Call A friend. Do you have a friend that is your “hype girl” or “hype guy”?! Maybe it’s a friend, sibling, parent, etc…Give them a call! Why not give someone the opportunity to make your day? Then, you can pass along the favor to someone at your office. Pay it forward!

Treat yo’self! You deserve it. We all work hard and sometimes we just need to take a minute, slow down and remember to take time and enjoy life. Find a positive jolt in a fancy coffee, dessert or dinner. I usually treat myself to a cappuccino from my favorite French cafe in town.
