Toolkit - Tranquil

Posted by Jerry Lopper Sep 18, 2006

Welcome to Personal Development Toolkit, a new feature appearing every Monday. Each week, Personal Development Toolkit will feature a one word tool you can use to construct additions to your personal growth and development. Each week's toolkit will include a brief description of the tool and a suggestion for using it.

Tranquil: To be tranquil is to be calm and free from agitation. Being tranquil, regardless of the external circumstances surrounding you, allows you to be at your very best with a calmness and peacefulness that is extremely attractive to others.

Example: Susan's customer service job was often pressure packed and chaotic. Yet Susan managed to remain tranquil and effective while solving difficult customer problems. Her tranquility had a calming effect on her customers as well as her co-workers.

This Week: No matter what occurs in your life this week, strive to be tranquil, calm and peaceful both inside and out, as you go about your responsibilities. Remind yourself that "this too shall pass." Watch as your tranquil mood spreads to those around you and pay attention to how you feel about yourself.
