Sometimes when life gets a little too hectic, I like to just put on my AirPods and relax to some music. It could be relaxing music or just plain rock.

Sometimes I would move to the beat of the music while working

Order muffins and pastries for the office. Coffee cart and barista in the breakroom. Root beer floats or ice-cream treats on a Friday during the summer. Pot luck, or cookie pot luck during the holidays. Select a few judges to make it a contest. Zoom call games and prizes during quarterly meetings. Happy hours.

@@Juan_blooms Music is fabulous way to de-stress and get re-focused! Especially if you add in a little "happy dance" :)

You got the kind of energy I bring to work!!😂 No reason to make work a DRAB. Might as well make it a positive and non-judgmental environment!!! 😊 ALSO, people need to apply this to their day-to-day life. It’s always the little things you need to appreciate and be thankful for!! I don’t think your life has to have a purpose, or you a grand ambition; I think it’s okay to just wander through life finding interesting things until you die. Traditional (western/white) narrative arc has tricked way too many people into thinking their lives have to have one grand epiphany, some flash of great meaning and deep insight, when in reality most people experience these things in much smaller ways throughout life. I think this also leads a lot of people to miss the stuff that actually makes them happy, because it’s mostly the small stuff. They spend their entire lives looking for a lightening strike and miss out on everything else.

Absolutely Well said! We've got about 4,000 weeks, why not add as much fun and enjoyment to the journey as possible? Especially when we know it can have such a huge impact on our workplaces!
