Happy Tuesday!

A good friend and colleague sent this to me today as a reminder and I wanted to share it with the group:

“The only way to do good work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.” – Steve Jobs

For me, my reflection took me to all of the things I love about nursing and the growth that I have gained from being part of this great profession. 

Do you love what you do? If so, allow that joy to occupy some space (even small) in your day.  If not, “don’t settle”!

I found when researching “joy” for this email a website: https://happyproject.in/three-good-things/

Three Good Things (TGT) caught my eye. The idea is to write down 3 things that make you happy every night. 

Some themes suggested are: 

1. What one way you made the most meaningful use of your time today?
2. What one good thing happened at your work/school/college today?
3. What one useful support you have from your relationships today?
4. What one good act of generosity or kindness you did today?
5. What one thing brought a smile to your heart today?

There is also a free app on the Apple App Store (and I am assuming on Android as well) if you are more of a tech person.  It is called Three Good Things and it is labeled as a “Simple Gratitude Journal”

Positivity generates joy!

I hope everyone chooses joy this week!
