Demands are high, and the speed of change can make our professional lives unsettling or challenging. There are some things, however, that you can do every day that will help you avoid burnout and amp up the joy at work. These five tips are adapted from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/williamarruda\/2019\/09\/08\/five-things-to-do-daily-to-increase-your-happiness-and-success\/#7f24927530e8\">an article by William Arruda<\/a> that appeared on Forbes.com Sept. 8. Thanks to Laurie Sampson for submitting this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Focus on the work you love.<\/strong> We all have parts of our jobs that we don\u2019t like. Accept it. But don\u2019t dwell on the frustrating or boring elements; spend time thinking about the parts of your job that bring you joy. Then find ways to do more of that.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Express gratitude. <\/strong>One thing that will surely make you (and those around you) happier at work is to express appreciation. Acknowledge others for their contributions, support, advice and unique gifts. When you praise someone else, you make two people feel good. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Assume positive intent. <\/strong>People can frustrate us. It\u2019s easy to become upset or angered by others\u2019 words or actions, and this often comes without understanding their actual intent. When you assume positive intent, you stay on the positive side of an issue and take steps to move forward.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Smile<\/strong>. Smiling reduces stress, builds trust and even increases productivity. Make a conscious effort to smile throughout the day. Greet those you meet with a smile and continue throughout the entire day. When you make a smile part of every interaction, you start a chemical reaction in yourself and in those who receive your grin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Punctuate each day.<\/strong> We rarely have any punctuation or pause, and as a consequence, we miss an opportunity to feel good about our contributions. At the end of each day, take time to document these three important experiences: something you learned, something you accomplished and something you&#8217;re grateful for.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Add these five actions to your daily DO list and watch your energy and attitude rise. Along the way, others will have more positive experiences with you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WATER COOLER CHAT<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/research.unl.edu\/open\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Gracie-spots-a-squirrel.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1734\" src=\"http:\/\/research.unl.edu\/open\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Gracie-spots-a-squirrel-295x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"295\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.unl.edu\/open\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Gracie-spots-a-squirrel-295x300.jpg 295w, https:\/\/research.unl.edu\/open\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Gracie-spots-a-squirrel-768x782.jpg 768w, https:\/\/research.unl.edu\/open\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Gracie-spots-a-squirrel-590x600.jpg 590w, https:\/\/research.unl.edu\/open\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Gracie-spots-a-squirrel-624x635.jpg 624w, https:\/\/research.unl.edu\/open\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Gracie-spots-a-squirrel.jpg 844w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 295px) 100vw, 295px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Monica Norby<\/strong>, assistant vice chancellor for research, on <strong>Gracie (Golden Retriever)<\/strong>: &#8220;This is Gracie spotting a squirrel in a pine tree.

She was planning ahead for when she would move out of state and she wanted a dog for companionship. According to her research, Cavaliers are good apartment pets; they are small dogs that don&#8217;t bark much and, if walked, they don&#8217;t need a yard to play in. She was still living at home when she got Herm at 8 weeks and 2.5 pounds. We were helpers in his training. He was the runt of the litter; however, he was full of spunk and we fell in love with him! Then they moved to Ohio. Thus, I asked my husband (well, actually begged and whined until I wore him down) if we could get a Cavalier. Thus we got our first Blenheim Cavalier, Miss Angel in December of 2018; followed by our second Black and Tan Cavalier, Sir Ace in December of 2019. Now we just need to get a Ruby Cavalier and our family will be complete with one of each of the four colors that Cavaliers come in. They are a challenge some days; but I wouldn&#8217;t trade them for anything in the world!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/research.unl.edu\/open\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Josie.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1782\" src=\"http:\/\/research.unl.edu\/open\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Josie-217x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"217\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.unl.edu\/open\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Josie-217x300.jpg 217w, https:\/\/research.unl.edu\/open\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Josie-433x600.jpg 433w, https:\/\/research.unl.edu\/open\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Josie.jpg 462w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 217px) 100vw, 217px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Trudy Nienaber,&nbsp;<\/strong>Sponsored Programs, on&nbsp;<strong>Josie (Brittany):&nbsp;<\/strong>&#8220;Josie loves to play ball and would play for hours if we let her!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/research.unl.edu\/open\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Dan-Moser-Dog.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1781\" src=\"http:\/\/research.unl.edu\/open\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Dan-Moser-Dog-220x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.unl.edu\/open\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Dan-Moser-Dog-220x300.jpg 220w, https:\/\/research.unl.edu\/open\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Dan-Moser-Dog-768x1047.jpg 768w, https:\/\/research.unl.edu\/open\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Dan-Moser-Dog-751x1024.jpg 751w, https:\/\/research.unl.edu\/open\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Dan-Moser-Dog-950x1295.jpg 950w, https:\/\/research.unl.edu\/open\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Dan-Moser-Dog-440x600.jpg 440w, https:\/\/research.unl.edu\/open\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Dan-Moser-Dog-624x850.jpg 624w, https:\/\/research.unl.edu\/open\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Dan-Moser-Dog.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 220px) 100vw, 220px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dan Moser,&nbsp;<\/strong>Research Communications, on&nbsp;<strong>Samson (Shih Tzu):&nbsp;<\/strong>&#8220;He bows down before eating his dinner as if he&#8217;s praying.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/research.unl.edu\/open\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Roxy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1780\" src=\"http:\/\/research.unl.edu\/open\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Roxy-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/research.unl.edu\/open\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Roxy-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/research.unl.edu\/open\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Roxy-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/research.unl.edu\/open\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Roxy.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lissette Gilster,&nbsp;<\/strong>Research Compliance Services, on&nbsp;<strong>Roxy (Corgi, with a little mix of Australian Shepard):<\/strong> &#8220;My oldest daughter loves dogs.
