Helping Others with Happiness
How much better would the world be if everyone did one thing each day to try to lift someone else out of their discomfort or sadness? Such a collective effort would have untold universal benefits. While you may not have a daily opportunity to be a helpful hero to someone, adopting such a mindset enhancement can make a positive difference.
- Amidst life’s fast pace and many demands, it’s easy to become self-absorbed and unintentionally dismiss others’ difficulties.
- Try observing those around you more closely. Focus on listening more than speaking.
- Articulate your observations by pointing out to others the positive qualities you’ve observed in them: “You sure were brave to handle that crisis.”
- Get in the habit of regularly giving others genuine, uplifting recognition. You’ll be surprised at how it benefits both the receiver and giver.
