Start your new year with simple ways to make a difference
Many use the start of a new year to reflect and rejuvenate. While many people focus on adopting a healthy lifestyle or setting business goals, improving yourself can be as simple as a kind thought, a caring word or a sweet note for someone else. Being gracious is often overlooked when, in reality, it is one of the simplest ways to initiate a better you.
Think of all the interactions you have on a daily basis. At the dry cleaners, on the road, at work and with family and friends. How easy it is to get bogged down in the daily grind and forget that everyone around you is doing the same thing, just trying to get by. Today, take a few extra seconds and say thank you, praise a good job or fill out a compliment card for your pharmacist. These small tasks, which many consider trivial, can turn just another day into a great day–for you and for someone else!
Consider others’ emotions. Do you know someone who is going through a tough time? Waiting to hear back about that dream job? Under the weather? Or were they just on your mind? Send a card with a genuine note and see how far a few little words can go in transforming someone’s day.
Finally, remember no act is too small. Offering encouragement through acts of kindness makes a world of difference. Something as simple as complimenting your spouse can change the trajectory of their day. Whether it is a small please or thank you or a big hug, being gracious requires only one thing, a few seconds of your day.
Improve yourself by helping uplift and encourage the ones around you. So pay it forward, and see how much it pays off!
