GIVE THE GIFT OF A COMPLIMENT
Everybody needs to be reminded of their better qualities now and again, it’s what keeps us striving to be better people. Leaving people with a smile on their face may give them the positive energy to do something good for someone else down the line.
ORGANISE A BRING AND SHARE WORK LUNCH
So many people sit at their desks for lunch and eat their meals alone that they’ve forgotten how eating together can make people happier! Suggest this and you may find others have been waiting for the opportunity to try out some new recipes.
MESSAGE AN OLD FRIEND
We all know at least one person who we could speak to for hours at a time, but has unfortunately drifted away. Don’t let the excuse of time, distance or even a small argument get in the way of something worth reviving, there’s no harm in trying.
HELP CARRY SOMEONE’S BAGS
Help someone, especially an elderly person who might be struggling with heavy bags or too many items. It’s nice to be the person in the crowd who takes their headphones out and offers to share the load.
STOP AND CHAT
Having a catch up or introducing yourself to your neighbors is the first step to building community spirit. Step up from a simple conversation by taking round food you’ve made.
SMILE
A smile alone can make a difference. Always wear a smile on your face and smile at people you don’t know, happiness is contagious. Smiling at others will also make their hearts smile.
GET OUTSIDE
Break the routine and go exploring! Let nature take you away from the worries that you’ve got milling around your brain. Invite someone else who could also do with a dose of fresh air and you can turn it into a social event.
