Saturday morning I subconsciously began my day implementing my strength, gratitude. The night before I had mentioned to my roommate that I started work at ten the next morning, fortunately she wakes up earlier than I do because I had slept through my alarm. I woke up to her asking me if I was still going to work. Confused by the question, I opened my eyes and looked at my phone, it was nine thirty. I instantly got out of bed, got ready and left to work, but not before thanking her for making sure I got up. Once I clocked in I remembered I began to think of the long day ahead of me. That was when I remembered I was to try and remain grateful throughout the day. Naming some things I was grateful for worked for a while, since I was entertained with different tasks I was assigned. About five hours into my shift, things began to go slower since not as many customers came in. That was when I became increasingly bored and slightly tired since I was just walking around the store not doing anything. I soon realized being thankful was not really doing the job anymore. That was when I decided to try to implement a different strength, teamwork. I approached a co-worker and asked if he needed help with labeling and putting up the sales prices. He gladly accepted my offer and I was put to work; that was when I implemented both my strengths. I was thankful I was given a task rather than standing around and my co-worker and I worked together to finish the labeling.
