Negative nancy gone! Happiness!

Happiness things from yesterday

1. I got to feed and rock a 3 month to sleep during an appointment.
2. The negative nancy in our office is finally GONE! 
3. One of my trainees made his first sale, he's one step closer to being out on his own
4. Got kissed multiple times by a 2 year old.  Played a LOT of peekaboo.
5. Smiled almost the whole day

Happiness challenge: 10-27-14

Things I am happy for today:
1. I am NOT the sick one today. My bf had food poisoning(maybe now he will believe me about Kroger lunch meat).  And one of the managers has bronchitis.  For once, it isn't me.
2. I got to the office and had 10 minutes to chill out and listen to a book before anyone else arrived.
3. I get to go home in between shift 1 and 2. Maybe I'll even take a nap or do yoga or both.

Busy busy bee

Today my schedule is crazy. Office 8-10. Pick up my car at 10:30. Pick up my trainee at 10:45.  Drive to Alamosa 11-1:45. Appointments 2-7 pm.  Drive back from Alamosa 8:30-11pm. Eat something and go to bed.


My happy things from yesterday:
1. The trainee I had running with me is so sweet
2. Got to show her success
3. My car got fixed.
4. We ordered pizza for dinner so I didn't have to cook.
5.  I got lots of kisses from my guy.

of all things great and good

On Friday night a razor blade shredded my tire. On Monday my brakes started grinding as if there was gravel in them. This morning my boss gives me 24 hours to learn a group interview that took her two weeks.

Therefore I'm thankful for:
1. having a good head on my shoulders
2. knowing how to change a tire
3. having the money to fix the car immediately
4. great theater training which makes memorization pretty simple
5. a great family at work and home
6. getting a good nights sleep


Happy Tuesday Everyone!

Happy things day 1

So yesterday was a rough day to find happy things.  Here are my 3.

1. David made all of my meals for me.
2. My bosses left me alone for the most part
3. I got a good nights sleep

happiness project

I've decided to start a happiness project.  It's not for anyone else but for me. I've been really struggling with being happy recently.  I'm so busy most of the time, that being happy doesn't occur to me. So I'm going to try to devote a little bit of time each day to just being happy.  At the end of the day I'm going to pick out 3 things that made me really happy that day and write them down in an adorable little journal I'll purchase at some point today. Maybe I'll even post a picture of it tomorrow. I tell my team to always be present and in the moment, but I'm having trouble practicing what I preach recently.  My team is doing well, and through my mini seminars, the other teams in the office have seen improved performance as well, which is pretty cool. The only person not seeing performance improvement seems to be me.  That's not really true to be honest. My sales have gone up and my health is getting better. I am just worn out. I need something happy each day to keep me motivated and right now, my motivation is lower than low.  I need a getaway.  So on Friday, I'm getting a 90 minute hot stone massage and then going down to Alamosa for a night with David. Yes it's a work trip, but to be honest, we are getting out of our apartment for a night and can just enjoy each other's company.

Those things, make me happy.

Work smart,not just hard

Sometimes working harder doesn't mean working smarter.  I have found that out A LOT this week. I can work really hard and make tons of money, but it doesn't mean that I'm working smart. If I'm working hard, I'm forgetting things or letting other things go. This job is a huge balancing act.  Working smart has meant hiring a recruiter to take some of my recruiting tasks off my hands. Best $30 a week I spend. It has taken a huge weight off of me and enabled me to focus on other parts of my job that need more personal time.

BRRR...it might be fall

It was 31 degrees when I woke up this morning.  Last week we had sunshine and 80 degree weather, now it suddenly has decided it might be fall.  So I drove to work in a heavy coat with gloves on. I am wearing pants and a sweater instead of the dress and open toed heels I was planning on wearing.  Oh well, I guess in October it can be fall. My manager is sick today.  I'm sick today. And our other female manager is sick as well.  The only one not in the office though, is my manager. Which is ok, but is going to put a lot of extra work on the rest of us.

Off to make that money!

A drop of water in the ocean

Every day is a new challenge and a new step. Today's challenge: Get through today. I have 7 appointments.  I leave directly from recruiting to go to appointments. Which means I left the house at 7: 30 this morning and will probably get home around 10 pm this evening.  I love my job but the long hours can be hazardous to our health. So I am taking all of the multivitamins that my amazing aunt sent me so that I can stay healthy.  She sent me a vitamin care package. It was so sweet and unexpected!  I literally cried when I saw it. To have her thinking about me and my health when she is so busy, it was so sweet.  Love you Auntie Cathy!

So using my Aunt's advice...Take your Vitamins!!!!
