An invitation for your consideration:
At the end of your Tuesday workday, ask and answer this question:
What was one good thing that happened today?
It doesn’t matter if you have a surfeit of answers or if absolutely nothing comes immediately to mind. What matters, once you land on it, is that you make it as specific as possible, as concrete as possible.
I’m not a big positive psychology guy, nor do I make lots of gratitude lists. I just happen to subscribe to Viktor Frankl’s admonition that regardless of our circumstances we always get to choose our attitude.
And I happen to believe that in order to choose an attitude that will keep us moving forward it helps to have some evidence to make the case.
Regardless of your circumstances, force yourself to answer: What was one good thing that happened today?
