Generous tips for your waiters

Just face it, we love dining experiences, be they fast food or fancy sit-down restaurants. We have to remember, though, that while we are enjoying our greasy burgers or exquisite pastas, our waitresses or waiters are scrambling to deliver world-class customer service to multiple tables. They are held to a gold standard. An incorrect order, a spilled glass, or anything less than a stellar attitude can result in a poor tip. This can be stressful – especially for those servers who rely on tips for their livelihood. Give a generous tip to your waiter. Reward the good ones and the bad. There is no way of knowing if they had a bad customer prior to serving you, or if maybe they are just having a bad day. Write them a little message on your receipt, and remind them that you appreciate their service. We guarantee you will make their day.

Thank-You Notes!

Write us off as traditional, but one custom we still get behind is penning thank-you cards. Writing thank-you notes is a simple way to show appreciation to your recipient. Even thank-you notes that are months late can bring a smile to another person’s face. Practicing this little courtesy also serves to spread your positivity to others. Doing something kind for someone else can be contagious and is a great way to reinforce your own positivity while also inspiring someone to be the best version of themselves, as well.

The Past is in the Past

Every person has a story – a collection of experiences that define who they are today. Sometimes, these stories are ones of survival. Heartbreak, tragedy and loss are as fundamental to life as happiness, peace and love, but we cannot let the former be the elements that define how we exist in the present. Always keep in mind that any negative events that happened in the past are in the past; every day is a blank canvas, begging to be painted in pints of positivity. Apologize, forgive, live. Make today the best day.

Create a Wall of Positive Thoughts at your place of occupation

On average, we spend eight hours a week in the workplace. For some people, that means seeing their coworkers as much as their own families. It is important to keep morale and positivity high in the workplace because the strength of your team is conducive to your team’s positivity. Find a space that gets a lot of foot traffic. Take a sticky note, write a positive message for one of your coworkers and leave the note on the wall. Praise them for a job well done, or thank them for a helping hand. Encourage others to contribute to the wall of sticky notes. Before long, the wall will be decorated with all the great things there are to love about your workplace.

Everything Happens for a Reason

Outlook is everything. Bad times go hand-in-hand with good times, and the attitude we choose to approach them with determines how these times affect us. One awesome habit to cultivate when faced with a trying situation is to take a step back and ask yourself, “What am I learning from this?” Remember that everything happens for a reason. Practicing an optimistic outlook during hard times is a simple way to reinforce your positivity.
