It tends to make us feel better when we extend some small kindness to others. Consider adding some of these practices into your daily life and see how they make you feel.
Feel free to report in!
* SMILE! Smile at everyone you see. An honest, authentic smile can really brighten up a person's day. Walking down the sidewalk, at the toll booth, at the grocery store, waiting for your latte! Smile!! And the world will smile with you!
* Mail someone a letter or card in the mail. Just to let them know you care. Isn't it nice to recieve a note that did not come electronically? Some thing you can hold in your hand, maybe splash a little lavender oil on it and make it a sensory experience.
* Bring in your neighbors recycle bin after trash day, god I love this!!
* Pay the toll for someone behind you. In fact, pay for 3 or 4 in rush hour and you will really make a few people happy!
*Bring your pet to a nursing home and help them spread their love! Animals are the greatest bringers of joy, but they can't get to the home without your help!
*Smile and say thank you to the meter maid if you come upon her/him writing you a ticket. It sounds nuts I know, but I swear it takes the sting out of the ticket, and those folks have a tough job and could probably benefit from your kindness.
*Put money in the parking meter if you see someone is about to run out.
* Give up your seat, anywhere, and offer it to someone standing near you. An oldie but a goodie!
