Spirit: Give
Did you know that giving to others does amazing things, like reducing your blood pressure and improving your sleep? Practicing random acts of kindness, volunteering time, or simply saying ‘thank-you’ all work wonders for your well-being.
Random Acts of Kindness
“We are each made for goodness, love and compassion. Our lives are transformed, as the world is when we live these truths" - Desmond Tutu
Being kind benefits not only the recipient but also the person performing the kind act! Kindness and compassion have been shown to reduce stress, boost confidence, and even lower blood pressure. Why not try it out with this great Random Acts of Kind activity?
Gratitude Diary
“We become what we think about.” - Napoleon Hill
Keeping a gratitude diary or journal is a particularly effective way to shift your thinking to a more positive and appreciative mind-set. The spiralling effect of gratitude is often surprising - the more you appreciate, the more you get!
You've Got Thanks!
“Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it." — William Arthur Ward
When was the last time you told someone how much they mean to you? We often feel grateful for the people in our lives but rarely take the time to tell them. A simple message of thanks can brighten someone's day, strengthen your relationship, and leave you both feeling happier.Why not surprise someone with a Grateful e-card? It takes a few minutes, but the impact can last much longer.
