Make Their Day! • When you make someone’s day (or moment) through a small act of kindness or unforgettable engagement, you can turn even routine encounters into special memories. • Lending a helping hand, giving a word of encouragement and offering to listen suggest that you are sensitive to the needs and feelings of others. • Think “unexpected.”

Be There! • The glue in our humanity is being fully present for one another. • Being there is also a great way to fight burnout and create focus so that you do not keep juggling the things that wear you out. • Giving 110% to the task at hand demonstrates cooperation among group members, shows enthusiasm and dedication to the project and says that you care.

Choose Your Attitude! • Think about your attitude yesterday, how would your day have been different if you had been committed to being upset? • How would you have reacted to people with whom you came in contact? • How would you have reacted to situations you experienced? • If you had been in a good mood, how might have you reacted differently to some of the negative things that happened?
