First Impressions
January...can be a difficult time for me to feel joyful with the gray days and wintery climate. Just thinking about stepping outside in those negative temperatures is enough to... well...brrrr!
So, I have decided this year to practice what I preach, how our thoughts create our feelings. If I think positive, and joyful thoughts about January, I will feel positive, and joyful about January even in freezing cold Minnesota.
I will start by focusing on the benefits and beauty of the winter season. Huge snowflakes almost the size of a quarter, landing heavy on the tree boughs. Time off from yard work. Curling up by a warm, cozy, crackling fireplace with my husband Steve, Gus the cat and Zoe the dog. Reading an amazing book. Snuggling in for the night with my favorite things. Comfort food (fresh bread and pasta) and a great glass of Port wine. Hmmm...I am feeling more positive and joyful already!
"Tis easy enough to be pleasant,
when life flows along like a song;
But the man worthwhile is the one who will smile
When everything goes dead wrong."

Personal Inspiration
I watch the little children who are so filled with joy. I think about what changes as we grow older to make us lose that joy. Little children are in the moment and focus only what is happening right at that moment. They aren't distracted with what happened in the past or what might happen next. All five of their senses, see, hear, touch, smell and taste are focused on what is....in the present moment.
As adults, we lose our focus with all the distractions in our lives. We no longer focus on what is happening in the present moment. We forget to see the beauty in a butterfly, hear the chirp of a chickadee, cherish the touch of a baby's soft skin, breathe in the smell of a fragrant flower, or taste all life has to offer.
So, how do we find joy again. We start by becoming aware of the beauty all around us and feel the healing powers. Fully experience and enjoy flowers, sunsets and sunrises, mountains, beaches and beautiful literature, music and people. Focus only on the present moment. Breathe in deep and exhale. Before you breathe in again, focus on feeling your heartbeat and the pulse in your fingers and toes. Breathe in deep again. Now ask yourself, how do I feel right now, right this moment? What do I see, hear, touch, smell and taste that I am grateful I can experience.
Finding joy means consciously deciding to process your life in ways that focus on gratefulness for what you have and what is. See the abundance in your life. You can cultivate this attitude by refusing to allow yourself to think in terms of not having. Being joyful means thinking joyful thoughts even when you are tempted otherwise.
Feeling joyful is a decision you make!

Professional Inspiration
Are you joyful at work or are you disgruntled from constantly comparing yourself to others. Embracing yourself for who you are is necessary to feel joy.
I recently read what I consider to be one of my top 10 of all time reads! There's a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem by Wayne W. Dyer. The following is an excerpt;
Joy is a way of processing the world from a perspective of what you have and what is right. Joyful people rejoice in their strengths, talents, and powers and do not compare themselves to anyone. They are not intimidated by the strengths, possessions and powers of anyone else. Joy comes from rejoicing in all that you are, all that you have, all that you can be from knowing that you are a divine, a piece of God.
Compare the serene and simple splendor of a rose in bloom with the tensions and restlessness of your life. The rose has a gift that you lack; It is perfectly content to be itself. It has not been programmed from birth, as you have been, to be dissatisfied with itself, so it has not the slightest urge to be anything other than it is. That is why it possesses the artless grace and absence of inner conflict that among humans is only found in little children and mystics.
It is important to remember that it is up to us to create a joyful environment.
The energy we radiate out always resonates back to us. We do create our own environment. We also impact everyone who enters our environment. We have the choice of making our environment joyful by sending out this kind of consciousness, or we can impact our environment in non-joyful ways.
So, what if you don't feel joyful about anything at the moment. What if you are having your own private pity party? If you can no longer see the forest from the trees. Say to yourself three times with sincerity, I am joyful. The amazing thing is your mind believes what it hears. You will start to feel more joyful. Joy is an inside job.
Fake it until you feel it!
When you feel your family, social and work environments are poisoned in anyway by the negativity of others; you can do something about it. Here are eight ways to decontaminate your environment.
- People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
- If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
- If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies. Succeed anyway.
- If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you. Be honest and frank anyway.
- What you spend years building, some may destroy overnight. Build anyway.
- If you find serenity and happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
- The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow. Do good anyway.
- Give the world the best you have, and it may
never be enough. Give the world the best you've got anyway.
We radiate peace and joy when we are living at our highest potential. |

Practicing Solutions
Situation:
I have several team members that can't seem to get along. They are consistently gossiping about what each other does or doesn't do with other team members. It has escalated to a point where they refuse to do certain tasks based on what each other is willing or unwilling to do.
Solution:
Steps to resolution:
This is extremely important to nip in the bud immediately. Your practice's performance is being sabotaged by individual team members personal feelings.
First, have a team meeting with the entire team. Explain that individual team members personal feelings have been getting in the way and affecting their performance and the success of the practice. If you have not already, as a team, establish expectations for teamwork behavior and performance. Discuss in detail the expectations for teamwork and performance in your practice. Who does what, when, where, how, why, regarding task management and behavior management.
Gossip is poison, and can destroy even the best of teams. Implement a zero tolerance for gossip and establish the consequences for taking part in gossip. FYI, if you are on the receiving end of gossip you play a 50/50 role. If they don't have anyone to tell, guess what, it stops!
Finally, clearly state that in order to continue to be a part of this team, teamwork and performance must be based on what is good and right for the practice and patients and never on an individuals personal desires and feelings. Their actions will decide their outcome on the team.
