Embrace Your Inner Grump
It’s not always a bad thing to lean a little toward pessimism. We can learn a lot from our less optimistic team members because they challenge us to think outside the box rather than lead with blind optimism.
Leap Into Your Human Connections
What will you do with your extra day this leap year? We hope you’ll focus on your human connections, like our two colleagues here. Jami and Deanell have been with EPI for 15 years now. They are proof positive that having a close friend at work is beneficial to the individuals and the organization.
Make Your Fun Intentional
When was the last time you set out to have fun? Intentionally seeking out fun causes us to be present in our lives; it refreshes us and silences our inner critic, helping us cope better with stress.
Counting Blessings
As songwriter Irving Berlin discovered years ago when he consulted a doctor about insomnia, it’s better to count your blessings rather than your grievances. Modern psychological research bears out the doctor’s advice: Gratitude is good for you.
So, this holiday season, recognize and express your gratitude freely!
