- Talk less, listen more
- Come to every meeting with the attitude of “what can I do to help you?”
- Instead of only going out for drinks, organize volunteer meetings with friends. Make a list of everywhere you can volunteer on a one-time basis in your town.
- Give an unexpected compliment to a stranger, that does not relate to their looks. Appreciate their skills and acknowledge how hard their work is; try to leave as many people as possible with the feeling of “you made my day”
- Give up on ego. Be the person that sees the larger picture in the argument
- Bring good energies with you everywhere you go; don’t expect to get them from others
- Do a random act of kindness – help a bug that’s been turned on its back and can’t flip back
- Open up to someone who seems to want to get close to you. You think they want a relationship, but you don’t? Don’t just assume. Maybe they want a friend, someone who will listen, someone who shares their interest and they can hang out with. Lose the barriers
- Be sustainable. Reuse your cup. Drink tap water instead of plastic bottles. Take an extra step and find that recycling bin.
