Mood and acts

The way we feel can be triggered by outside events. And that can impact the way we act. And the way we act always changes how we feel.

These days are perfect to reinforce the way we act in a positive way, ignoring the rainy day and how it makes us feel, and instead start learning something difficult for us, or facing tasks or projects we have been procrastinating for a long time. Not because we were told to do so, but because we want to upskill ourselves. It’s the perfect time to change our acts. To connect more generously, give away our time to someone else. Deep into the relationships we are digitally building.

The more in control we are of our acts the better we feel. Maybe not immediately but the feeling of going over a challenge or having helped other people to move to the next level will be there. We can not control outside events but we can control how we act, do we let ourselves go with the flow and let the environment be in charge? or do we take responsibility of our own time and mood so we act and shift the way we feel?

We do not have a problem

When you continuously challenge yourself, your environment, how things are done, how does the world work, .. You probably see fixable stuff everywhere.

Organizations are made by people, their knowledge, skills and attitude. The oriented-to-change or to improvement organizations&teams are always looking around, searching for things to be fixed, anything that can be improved by doing differently. Processed that are obsolete and needs to be adapted to a new reality or even better, to be created as there is nothing that can cover the gap. They act proactively. They always see an opportunity, a puzzle / problem that can be solved. The usual answer to How are thing going will be: we could do better.

The oriented-to-resolve organizations&teams happen to be on the other side of the room. They look only to fix what’s broken, only taking action when a PROBLEM is on the table. And when it does, when the problem is visible, it’s usually because it has become important, big, visible. It’s the outcome of adding many issues to which we didn’t pay much attention to, they were too small to be considered. The usual answer to How are things going? Will be: we don’t have any problem.

Well, continuous improvement permits us to avoid big problems or difficulties and be ready for the next challenge. And this is mainly a matter of attitude. The tools for changing will come after.

Because, if we don’t have a problem…. we have a problem.
