Life is very busy and stressful and very often we do not take time for the important things in life. If I think of myself, I work 8 hours a day, I travel 3 hours to work and back and the time that I am at home, I spend cooking, cleaning and preparing for the next day. This leaves me with about 1 hour each day with my son and very limited time for my dogs and husband.
Yes, time is little and should be cherished. Ever so often you should stop what you are busy with to allow yourself the chance to appreciate each precious moment and those special people in your life, that mean something to you. That is why I try to do something nice for someone at least once a week. It does not have to be for friends or family, it can be random people at work or even for strangers. Letting someone else feel special, valued or loved is truly a wonderful experience.
I would like to challenge you to go ahead and do this weekly too. Maybe on your worst day of the week. Mine is a Tuesday for some reason. Give someone a gap in traffic; compliment someone unexpectedly at work on anything, whether it is a nice top, their work or their sparkling personality; let an older person take your place in the queue at the shops or buy your loved one a gift just because. A smile, a gesture, nice words, a flower, a compliment, these things are what makes our world go around and can mean turning someone's else day around completely.
I would love to hear from you on whether you did try it and what your experience was?
