A great book titled, Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff… and it’s all small stuff, includes simple ways to keep the little things from taking over your life. Many of the chapters include helpful tips for the workplace. One of my favorite chapters titled "Be Aware of the Snowball Effect of Your Thinking" helped me towards achieving a work life balance. I hope after reading this it can help you too!

A powerful technique for becoming more peaceful is to be aware of how quickly your negative and insecure thinking can spiral out of control. Have you ever noticed how uptight you feel when you’re caught up in your thinking? And, to top it off, the more absorbed you get in the details of whatever is upsetting you, the worse you feel. One thought leads to another until at some point, you become incredibly agitated. For example, you might wake up in the middle of the night and remember a phone call that needs to be made the following day. Then, rather than feeling relieved that you remembered such an important call, you start thinking about everything else you have to do tomorrow. You start rehearsing a probable conversation with your boss, getting yourself even more upset. Pretty soon you think to yourself, “I can’t believe how busy I am. I must make fifty phone calls a day. Whose life is this anyway?” For many people, there’s no limit to how long this type of “thought attack” can go on. The solution is to notice what’s happening in your head before your thoughts have a chance to build any momentum.

The sooner you catch yourself in the act of building your mental snowball, the easier it is to stop. In the example illustrated, you might notice your snowball thinking right when you start running through the list of what you have to do the next day. Instead of obsessing on your upcoming day, say to yourself, “Phew, there I go again,” and consciously stop. Stop your train of thought before it has a chance to get going. You can then focus, not on how overwhelmed you are, but on how grateful you are for remembering the phone call that needed to be made. If it’s the middle of the night, write it down on a piece of paper and go back to sleep. You might even consider keeping a pen and paper by the bed for such moments. You might be a busy person, but remember that filling your head with thoughts of how overwhelmed you are only exacerbates the problem by making you feel even more stressed than you already do. Try this simple exercise the next time you begin to obsess on your schedule. You’ll be amazed at how effective it can be.

I hope this post was helpful to you, particularly during the hectic holiday season!

I had been with my current company for 17 years when we found out our office was being closed due to reorganization. Now I find myself looking for a job again. What a scary situation after being with a company for so long. The job application process has changed alot. I look forward to working with That's Good HR. I feel confident together we will find an awesome job for me.

I was given the opportunity to work with an auto auction company in Carmel, IN. The opportunity was beyond anything I can ask for.

I was given the opportunity to write for two local car dealers. I created several quick reference guides and training manuals.

I personally feel that the work experience and writing samples I now have will take me to the next level. I have been told repeatedly I need more experience. Three months working as a temp. through That's Good HR, I feel will def. make me more marketable.

I appreciate the help along the way to secure the job and the weekly calls to make sure everything was going well.

Although the assignment has ended, I am confident my experience will help me land an amazing job. Thanks!

I am a seasoned Front Desk Receptionist looking for a new work family. When I met Jessica her smile was sincere and hopeful. Jessica made me feel like I am an important resource for my community and patience along with the staff there will bring me closer to that realization! I want to stay positive and remembering Jessica's smile keeps that hope alive even on a spring cloudy rainy day. Just knowing that a friendly professional staff is behind the scenes working for the community to put employers and those looking for work together is a warm feeling just like Jessica's smile!

I have been looking for employment since the beginning of January 2011. I met That's Good HR at a career fair and I talked with them for a few minutes and gave them my resume, not thinking of what great opportunities would be coming to me. The next day That's Good HR gave me a call and asked me to come in their office for an interview for the following week. I was very eager and excited. Throughout the entire weekend I prepared myself for the interview. When the day came, I was well dressed and ready to conquer this interview. I arrived early and had my interview with Jessica Buckley, she explained what That's Good HR did and gave me a overview. She helped me with updating my resume and allowed me to feel very comfortable. I felt very good about my interview and went home with a smile on my face. Two days later I got a call asking me if I wanted to take on an assigment. I acepted and from that day until now I have been consistently employed with great positions that challenge my skills and provide me with experience. I thank That's Good HR for everything they have done and keep doing!

I was unemployed in Sept 2010. I went to all of the temp agencies in town, and quickly found out that they were just application takers. Thats Good HR was the only agency that kept in touch with me the whole time. When Amber called me about a position at local company. We both agreed that is was my perfect position. Within a week of me being there they asked for an interview with the executives. Within the month I had a position with one of the best companies in Indianapolis. The benefits are excellent and somewhere I hope to retire from. All thanks to Amber!

I always enjoy working at your client.  They are a good company and treat their employees well. Employees at the client where I worked are very friendly and let you know that they appreciate you being there helping them out.

Although reluctant to pursue a temporary job through a staffing agency, due to past experiences with other staffing agencies. That's Good HR exceeded my expectations!

Speaking with Jamie and Jessica on the phone, and meeting with Jessica in person for a one on one interview really impressed me. They treated me as a person, with professional respect, instead of a paycheck like other staffing agencies have in the past. The personal interview is to find out what you are looking for and what they might have available. Before I could leave the building, Jessica had a position that she wanted to submit my resume for! I never would have thought of this happening! All though this position went to another candidate 2 more came within days!

I can not speak highly enough of this company and would recommend them to anyone that is looking for employment or a great staffing firm!

Suzanne made an effort to make useful suggestions in our telephone conversation that were helpful to me but did not necessarily benefit her.

I want to let you know that I was pleased with my placement. Everyone here is very nice. I love my job. It was the perfect fit for me. You and the rest of the staff at That's Good HR were great. I have recommended you at friends and previous co workers looking for employment. I will continue to do so. You are welcome to post this on your website!

I had the pleasure of working with Stacy Rouse of That’s Good HR for four months while completing a temp-to-hire position. Throughout this time, Stacy was always willing to go the extra mile to ensure I was successful with client needs. Overall, I would recommend working with Stacy and That's Good HR to anyone who is in need of a career!

My name is Alayna Pabst and I have been working at That’s Good HR for a little over 2 years now. My general job description has changed several times; simply I am here to assist in any department where it is needed. So after 2 years I have been able to add a lot of experience and new responsibilities onto my resume: working as a front office administrator, answering the phones, assisting new candidates who are registering with the company, supporting the recruiters, working as an accounting clerk, assisting the CFO and Controller of That’s Good HR with daily accounting tasks, year-end file turnover, organizing, etc. I have been able to roll with the punches, so to say, and assist wherever I may be needed. I don’t have a specific job title, because my job changes constantly, which I believe helps to make me an invaluable asset to TGHR.

Not to quote Hair club for men but That’s Good HR is not only the owner of a staffing agency but it is also a client. At any one given time we may have 1 temporary employee or up 3 temps working at our office. We believe in hiring the right people to get the job done, no matter what. That’s Good HR is flexible with my schedule. Just like many of the temporary employees that are currently working for That’s Good HR. I gave TGHR my time restrictions and they were willing to work around it. I turn in a timecard every week before 5pm to ensure I get paid the following Friday. Which I have to say it pretty nice!

Working at TGHR has been a great networking tool for me. I am surrounded by several recruiters, who know the Indianapolis job market, who also know several of the area’s hiring managers. My advice to my fellow temporary employees? All I can say is do your best everyday and they will take good care of you. I am also able to empathize with my fellow temporary employees. Working as a temporary employee can be difficult, you never quite know where you fit but you know that the job you are doing is very important for the company that you work for. That is why you were hired, that is why the company contacted TGHR, and where they were looking for assets to join their team. The recruiters work very hard to make sure that our clients are pleased but also to make sure our temps are satisfied as well. The recruiters make it a point to know our temporary employees, to make sure they are supported and appreciated. Last month TGHR celebrated National Staffing Week, where we took a week to really appreciate all of our temporary employees. 

Working as a temporary employee, doesn’t mean I always feel like a "temp". I am a part of the team at That’s Good HR. I know that I help everyday to make TGHR a better workplace. I feel appreciated by my colleagues and they help to make me feel validated in my decision to be a temporary employee.

I really enjoyed the five (05) weeks I worked at a That's Good HR customer. The folks there were all very friendly and helpful. While there was no permanent place for me to sit, I was able to work around that to their satisfaction. Thanks again for a wonderful and productive five weeks.
