Here is a challenge for you! This challenge is not for the weak or whiny so if you're up for it - if you're a BOSS or just want some goodness to start coming into your life, try this out for one day (only) at first. Assess if/how it improved your mood and challenge yourself (after day one) to try it again on day 2. Ready for it??? Here it is!
Try for one full day to use the "After You" approach with everyone you come in contact with. How? By holding the door open for the person behind you but taking it to the next step and saying "After You" or doing the hand gesture (swing your hand under from right to left - signaling they go first), holding the elevator door open, allowing the driver in the next lane to pass you, offering someone behind you with less groceries to go before you in the check out line at the supermarket, etc.
For those that have done this in the past, that's wonderful! Lets all take on the "After You" challenge and do it for the entire day (tomorrow - Thursday, November 6th.) Do it expecting nothing in return. Do it expecting to not receive even a thank you. The challenge is for you, no one else. Do not get discouraged or frustrated when you're not acknowledged for your act of kindness. The acknowledgment is not important, its the act that matters.
Join me in this challenge for one day and ask yourself at the end of the day "How was that?" Imagine what this world would be like if everyone on this planet took on this challenge for one day? This can be the beginning of something AMAZING!!!
