How to be a better person -> Today 🧵

How to be a better person -> Today 🧵
Be helpful:
Open a door, carry a bag, lend a hand.
It doesn't take much.
Small gestures of kindness bestowed upon others have a compounding effect.
Take 10 seconds -> change someone's day.

Lend an ear:
Listening is a lost art.
Sometimes people don't want you to solve their problems, they just want someone to talk to.
We all need to vent from time to time.
Quit trying to "fix it" and just listen.

Be genuine:
Ask people how they're doing, and mean it.
We've all been there:
Someone asks how your day was and you respond with the standard: "Fine, good, ok," etc.
Next time, try giving a genuine answer, with detail.
Once you're done, ask the other person to do the same.

Say thank you:
It means more than you think.
Letting others know you appreciate them, their efforts, & what they do for you never gets old.
Sadly, those closest to us are often the ones we forget to acknowledge.
Tell your spouse, your parents, your friends.
It matters.

Teach:
Take time to help someone learn.
Mentoring others & sharing your knowledge is one of the most rewarding endeavors in life.
It's beneficial for you & the person you're teaching.
The passing of knowledge is perhaps the most important form of paying it forward.

Practice Forgiveness:
Forgiving doesn't mean forgetting.
It means letting go.
Release yourself from the need for an apology & focus on moving forward rather than dwelling on the past.
It's not always easy, but cutting people some slack when they make a mistake is freeing.

Don't Judge:
You don't live someone else's life.
You don't know their situation.
Rather than expressing your thoughts on how they "should" be doing something, try this:
Remove your opinion & ask how you can help.

Praise someone:
Funny, we're not always the best at knowing how to handle compliments.
We also never get tired of hearing them.
Praising someone is a great way to let them know you care.
When was the last time you were told you did something well and felt worse afterward?

Have patience:
"Patience isn't the ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude while doing it."
Take a step back, look at the big picture, & choose empathy instead.
Often there may be a reason things are taking longer than you'd like, which you haven't considered.

Smile:
Every time you smile your brain releases tiny molecules that help to reduce stress called neuropeptides.
What happens next?
Other neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, & endorphins come flooding in.
Put simply, you'll feel better.
Don't believe me? Try it!
