Swift Seven: Tips to Enjoy Your Workday

Welcome to “Swift Seven,” a new blog post format that I will use on occasion to share a very quick, but helpful list of seven tips related to a topic.

Before I give you the seven tips, don’t forget that we are in the 10-day launch period for my new book, and you could win a surprise package from me!

Now, on to the “Swift Seven” tips to enjoy your workday:

1. Start the day with a brief moment of inspiration at your work space. Read a quote or devotion, say a silent prayer, look at an inspiring photo.

2. Plan to bless one coworker with an uplifting word or small act of kindness. Then do it!

Be kind and compassionate to one another…[biblegateway passage="Ephesians 4:32" display="Ephesians 4:32a NIV"]

3. Start a list of things to be thankful for at your job, or add at least one item to an existing list.

4. Take a moment to stretch and breathe deeply.

5. Organize or decorate a very small part of your work space. Perhaps cull a file or two, straighten a drawer, or do a little dusting.  Look at my “Creative Workspaces” board for inspiration.

6. Take a reasonable break. Don’t work through your entire lunch. Take a moment outside and try to notice something about the building or landscaping you’ve never seen before.

7. Express thanks that you have a job, remembering those less fortunate.
