An Open Letter to All Chief Paradise Officers (CPOs)
Dear Chief Paradise Officer,
Thank you!
I know it can be challenging to come to work every day to connect with what gets you satisfied, energized & productive. Unfortunately, it’s all too easy to get sucked into the negativity of the Chain Gang members and other negative folks in our lives.
CPOs – Here are 7 things I appreciate about you.
- You set an intention for creating your own Professional Paradise each day. (For an easy way to do this, check out the 28-Day Professional Paradise e-Diary).
- You recognize the WOWs (internal events that make you feel satisfied, energized & productive) in your workplace and talk about how grateful you are for them.
- You work to shrink the POWs (internal or external events that feel like a heavy blow) that you create yourself (think worrying, fretting, procrastination, etc.).
- You SHIFT the really tough POWs to WOWs – or at least you try your best. (To download the SHIFT steps, visit www.ProfessionalParadise.com).
- You empathize with those around you who are feeling negative but you don’t let them change your Paradise mindset.
- You take great care of yourself outside of work so you have more energy at work (You get a good night’s sleep, exercise, eat well, have fun!).
- You give yourself permission to feel bad and then you quickly bounce back (cause we all have a little bit of the Chain Gang in us – haha).
In addition to me, your coworkers, boss, neighbors, friends, family & customers all appreciate the effort you put into creating Professional Paradise. We all like being around you. We feel a positive connection to you and we trust you. Coming in contact with you makes us feel happy and positive.
Thank you Chief Paradise Officers!
