Research shows that people speak to themselves end

Research shows that people speak to themselves endlessly, using hundreds of words every minute. You might be surprised that it is part of our human nature to focus more on negatives than positives. Extensive research shows that humans have a bias toward negative thinking rather than positive thinking. If much of what you say to yourself is negative, this is probably affecting your outlook. You can learn to think more positively. This does not mean that you hide from unpleasantness or that you have an unrealistically positive outlook. It means that you can approach the world, including difficulty, with a positive and productive state of mind. A positive outlook increases people's ability to cope with stressful situations.

Email is one way to stay connected with Amiable St

Email is one way to stay connected with Amiable Style people, so they generally appreciate receiving messages. Clearly state your message and needs, but write in a conversational tone. If appropriate, mention something positive and sincere about working with the person or about his or her helpfulness related to the situation (e.g., "I really appreciate your help with this."). These individuals like to be helpful and they appreciate polite and friendly people, so you can motivate them by being personable and genuine. Also, it's okay to use emotions.

Exercise to reduce stress. Exercise causes the bra

Exercise to reduce stress. Exercise causes the brain to release neurotransmitters called endorphins, which is the body's natural feel-good drug. You will find that you naturally set aside the day's tension. You are also likely to benefit from an improved mood, and you might even sleep more soundly. You do not have to devote hours every day to jogging and you do not have to be in great shape. Do what you want to do; this is not about becoming a marathon runner. Start out slow and do the types of exercise you enjoy most ñ walking up steps, gardening, weightlifting, yoga, walking at lunch ñ all forms of exercise have the same benefits. Find a friend to exercise with you. This will increase your chances of sticking with a regular program.

Are people drawn to certain occupations because these jobs fit with their SOCIAL STYLES? While all Styles are represented across all occupations, it only makes sense that some people will choose their occupations because the skills and environment appeal to their natures.

We examined our North American database and found that Expressive Style people are highly represented in several jobs, notably training professional (38% are Expressive), sales/marketing (37%), human resources (32%), and customer service (32%). These individuals are outgoing, like to earn attention, and are comfortable talking and interacting with others. It's easy to see why, within these particular occupations, many people are Expressive.

When we consider the types of behaviors that people should do less of at work, most of those behaviors center around a person's Style-related Backup Behavior. Amiable Style people have a tendency to acquiesce to others and not share their opinions. So with these individuals, doing less really means doing more. While having friendly relations with co-workers is an admirable goal, these individuals should take more risk and realize that professional disagreements are acceptable and will not usually be taken personally. They can help their co-workers, and themselves, by clinging less to the status quo. Change can be positive, and it will help these individuals if they can be proactive about it and attempt to influence change rather than resist it. In addition, simply sharing their opinions more openly will help their co-workers. It can be difficult to control our natural Style behaviors, but if we consciously manage these behaviors we can see benefits in our working relationships and also in our personal effectiveness.
