Be mindful of your mood ripple in the workplace
You can be of service to others simply by managing your mood!
A work environment is a form of social network and in any type of social network, norms and habits are able to spread and the people in the network have the ability to influence the choices we make. But we can also influence them!
How you turn up to work, the expectations you have of yourself and others, the way you conduct yourself and engage with others, and the choices you make throughout the day have a profound impact not only on your experience in the workplace but also on the environment you create for others.
If you are happy, calm, considered, and thoughtful you will create a space where others feel comfortable, safe and engaged around you.
If you are focused, driven, motivated, and committed you will create a space where others grow, are challenged, mentored and results focused.
If you are frustrated, distracted, anxious and scattered you will create a space that is chaotic, unsettling, uncertain and demotivating for others.
If you are despondent, indifferent, and apathetic you will create a space where others are disengaged, complacent and unfocused.
Each of these ‘moods’ lead to resourceful or unresourceful habits and choices that serve to move the team forward or hold them back and either add or detract from a wellbeing culture.
To create a culture of wellbeing start with self and cultivate an attitude and mood conducive to fostering wellbeing.
