Rough Days

We all have our rough days. Sometimes we can't or don't have someone to go to. So where do we get our "Atta Girl", or "Hay, you aren't so bad", or "No, you are absolutely not a B...". Or my favorite "You are right!"

Circle back to your professional network. Ask for recommendations from previous employees, peers, superiors. It's an easy click on LinkedIn, you just have to ask.

If you do have recommendations on your profile, OMG, read them again! Truly. Embrace what others are saying about you - publicly.

You will feel better. Just take a minute (or five) to remind yourself that you have made a positive difference in others' lives.
