Today’s coping tip is to share something you find inspiring, helpful, or amusing.

Maybe not inspiring to you, but it was for me. We recorded a number of customers and partners at the PASS Summit, asking them what they thought about our work at Redgate.

There’s a cool playlist that is inspiring to me. Makes me want to work harder and proud of our work.

Today’s coping tip is to respond kindly to everyone you talk to today.

This is often easy for me. I did this last week while traveling.

I got coffee on the way to the airport. I greeted the cashier with a good morning and thanked him. I did the same at the airport when I grabbed breakfast, but also asked the young lady how her day was going.

On the airplane, I greeted the flight attendants while walking in and when they served drinks with a hi and thank you. Same when leaving. I also thanked someone that paused to let me walk ahead of them.

Asked the Uber driver how he was and I appreciated him picking me up.

Had dinner and pleasantly chatted with the bartender.

A happy day.

Today’s coping tip is to appreciate the good qualities of someone in your life.

We have a person in Redgate that does a lot of work to support our sales process. This individual has been a force for producing resources that many people, including myself use.

I don’t want to name them publicly, but I really appreciate the work ethic, the flexibility, the willingness to learn, to admin mistakes, to go the extra mile, the friendliness, and the enthusiasm.

There’s more, but these are the top ones I appreciate.

Today’s coping tip is to support a local business with a positive online review or friendly message.

When I discover a business I like or one that delivers value or joy, I have been trying to leave a review or message online. This is how many people find new businesses, and the local ones can always use support.

Santortas is a local restaurant near me that I love. Their breakfast burritos are amazing. My only complaint is they don’t open until 9, so it’s mostly a weekend treat for me. I wish I could get one at 7 when I go skiing. I left them a review on Google.
