We have all been through a time of turmoil in the past 12 months, whether we have been affected personally or just had our energy buffeted from pillar to post with all of the negative news being spread by the vulture like media.
From energy prices to interest rates, increased cost of living to wars, it has felt personally, that the world has become even more fixated on material things and lack rather than spiritual blessings and kindness.
I believe that it would be very beneficial both personally and for the world in general if we could all make a decision to start spreading more love and kindness. Even if this was just in a small way. The kindness and love that we spread into the world could start to counteract the bleakness and desperation that has become evident amongst many.
If we all individually started to think about ways of making a daily contribution to the pot of goodness around us, we would be building up a bank of kindness and love which would then return to us three-fold. Some of the things we could each do are listed below:
- Smile more. Smile at strangers as well as friends, smiling is infectious and lifts peoples spirits as well as your own.
- Compliment people – make it your mission to find something nice to say to at least 3 people each day and make one of those a stranger. You have no idea what positive effect that this could bring into someone’s life. You will be guided to say just the right thing to the right person who may well have asked for a sign that very day to set them on the right path.
- Do things as you notice them. By this I mean, if you see a piece of litter on the ground don’t just tut about it, do something. Pick it up and put it in a bin. Just because you didn’t drop it doesn’t mean it isn’t your responsibility to do something about it as you have now noticed it. If everyone did this, there would be no more litter.
- Take 100% responsibility for your relationships. By this I mean don’t do things or act in a certain way in order to get something back. Be kind and loving in all of your relationships without expecting anything back. This way happiness lies.
- Say thank you. Even if the person you are thanking does not expect it. For example, if someone cooks you a meal, thank them. If someone asks if you want a cup of tea, thank them for asking you. It costs nothing to say thank you but by acknowledging the other persons kindness and thoughtfulness you are showing that you have noticed, appreciate them and care.
These are just a few examples of things that we can do to spread a little love and joy in the world. There must be loads more. I would love to hear your thoughts and ideas, please share them with me at sue@soulverse.co.uk
