It is no secret that happier workers are more productive, but have you also noticed that when you feel happier you also feel more confident and successful – who wouldn’t want that in their life? There is also reason to suggest that there are more job opportunities for happier people. It is a self fulfilling circle; happiness leads to more confidence\u00a0which makes you more attractive to employers. However I challenge \"3<\/a>you to find any living or dead professional who was happy 100% of the time, everyone is susceptible\u00a0to\u00a0negative thoughts which if left unchallenged, could be very damaging to your career.\u00a0Here are some tips\u00a0to boost the happiness and confidence in your career.<\/p>\n

1. Say NO to negativity<\/h3>\n

Negativity is like a powerful weed,\u00a0if you give it too much power it grows and grows killing your positivity, motivation and confidence. Don\u2019t allow yourself to think negative thoughts. When you feel the twinge of uncertainty and self doubt such as \u201cNo one will ever give me a job” or “I can’t do this”, kill it instantly with some negative thought weed-killer. If you don’t believe in yourself, nobody else will.<\/p>\n

\"3<\/a>2.\u00a0A Smile A Day…<\/h3>\n

A smile a day… well it just makes everything better. Whenever you feel overwhelmed or defeated at work take 5 minutes to think of something funny, call a friend, go for a coffee with a colleague or find a video of funny puppies; whatever floats your boat. Smiling causes an\u00a0incredibly powerful chemical\u00a0reactions in your body, releasing\u00a0serotonin\u00a0which\u00a0not only relaxes your body, but it can lower your heart rate and blood pressure. Trust me, it works. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Embrace What Makes You Unique<\/h3>\n

According to Malcolm Gladwell you have to be an outlier to be a success so embrace your oddities, they are what makes you unique.\u00a0In a world of huge competition in the job market you need to make yourself stand out from the crowd. Embrace what makes you unique.<\/p>\n

Stop worrying that you’re not good enough, or you’re not like the others; slap a smile on your face and go get ’em!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
