@Monica2ndgrade @mrraffel Those little, free, changes could make a big impact in any workplace!

[Chris Davis @cmd408]

@karen75036 @mrraffel @shawnachor Yes we do!

[Chris Davis @cmd408]

@karen75036 @mrraffel I agree, I get a lot of of team meetings.

[Chris Davis @cmd408]

@DeniseBach8 @mrraffel I love the idea of checking in on others too! Sometimes I just need a break and walking across the hall to see how someone else is doing, makes both of us feel better!

[Chris Davis @cmd408]

@DeniseBach8 @mrraffel @shawnachor This has been helpful to me this year with changing grade levels. I love hearing what other teachers get excited about. It makes me want to try it myself!

[Chris Davis @cmd408]

@karen75036 @mrraffel @shawnachor I love seeing all of the morning greeters by the front door! You really can't walk by there without wanting to smile!

@mrraffel A4: I think organizations need to start at the top and set an example and expectation for the work environment. Provide opportunities consistently that promote the principles and the ripple effect will take place on its own. #D54Happy

@mrraffel A3: A positive mindset can be contagious and help you be more productive in a group setting. People are more productive around positive problem solvers and doers. We tend to work less and waste time when we are around people who complain or are unhappy. #D54Happy

[Chris Davis @cmd408]

@mrraffel A1: Change starts with you! You can start out with a small gesture of kindness that has the potential to become contagious. The Smile experiment is the easiest way to start due to the mirror neurons. #D54Happy

@ErickaSpED @mrraffel Life gets so busy, and this is such a good reminder. We only have so much time with family at home or our students at school.

[Chris Davis @cmd408]

@mrslindenborn @mrraffel I do this often with my young adult children too. A good friend gave me the advice of listen 80% and talk/give advice 20%.

[Chris Davis @cmd408]

@mrraffel A4: I tend to worry about things that are out of my control so I try to change my mindset to think of the great things that can happen or the obstacles I will overcome if needed.#D54Happy

[Chris Davis @cmd408]

@mrraffel A3: By changing our mindset, we can change what is possible #D54Happy

[Chris Davis @cmd408]

@KassidyAndrews1 @mrraffel I agree! This helps me change my mindset in a lot of situations.

[Chris Davis @cmd408]

@mrraffel A2-I try to find the positive in the little things every day. I could have been annoyed that I had recess duty today, instead, I chose to enjoy the time in the sun, getting fresh air, and having conversations with students I usually don't get to see#D54Happy

[Chris Davis @cmd408]

@mrraffel @shawnachor A1-One meaning is the realization that you can control/change your mindset to find happiness in what you are doing in the present.#D54Happy

@lblatti8 @mrraffel This is a great idea that I would love to do too!
