Insight - Be Cheerful


Listen Later

Have you ever asked someone how they were doing and had them hinge their response on how the day goes? 

On the other hand, have you ever noticed how contagious someone's cheerfulness can be? When you're around someone who is genuinely happy and upbeat, it's hard not to feel the same way. But the opposite is also true - negativity and grumpiness can bring down the mood of those around us.

Studies have shown that cheerfulness has numerous scientific benefits for employees in the workplace. Research suggests that a positive and cheerful outlook can lead to higher levels of job satisfaction, increased productivity, and better overall health. When employees are happy and cheerful, they tend to have higher levels of engagement, creativity, and problem-solving abilities. 

Cheerful employees are also more likely to have positive relationships with their colleagues, which can improve team dynamics and collaboration. Additionally, cheerful employees tend to have better physical health, including reduced risk of heart disease, lower blood pressure, and better sleep quality. All of these benefits can contribute to a more positive and productive workplace culture.

Cheerfulness is not an innate and unattainable characteristic. It is a skill you can choose to cultivate. 

  • Start by focusing on the good things in your life, no matter how small. 
  • Take time to appreciate the beauty around you, whether it's a sunny day or a blooming flower. 
  • Practice gratitude by keeping a daily journal or taking a moment each day to reflect on what you're thankful for.
  • Cultivate a positive mindset. Instead of dwelling on problems or negative experiences, focus on finding solutions and learning from challenges. 
  • Practice positive self-talk by reminding yourself of your strengths and accomplishments.
  • Make an effort to spread cheer to others. Smile and make eye contact with people you encounter throughout your day. Offer compliments and words of encouragement. And remember, even small acts of kindness can have a big impact, whether at home or at work.

So choose to be cheerful today and see how it can transform your mood and the mood of those around you.
