Everyone can use a little extra luck. Rather than buying that “healthy” water or stale sunflower seeds at the gas station, buy a couple scratchers and tape them to the gas pump with a note wishing the finder “Good luck!”
Next time you’re at the movies, pay for the tickets for the person (or couple) behind you. That might get pricey, so give it a try at a matinee. I know it’s hard but you can skip the Twizzlers once in a while to treat a stranger to a ticket, can’t you? And yes, Twizzlers over Red Vines. Always.
This is one of those mindful acts of kindness that most people won’t notice but give it a try anyway. On your way out of the theater, in addition to your own bottle of water and half-eaten tub of popcorn, grab just one piece of trash from a less considerate movie-goer. Strangers and maybe even the staff won’t notice but whomever you’re with probably will. If you’ve got little kids with you, they’ll pick up on it and you just might be inspiring your little one to be a bit more mindful too. Maybe that’ll even carry over to them picking up their toys at home without you even asking. Well…we can hope, can’t we?
This is dedicated to all those hard working nurses out there. You get coughed on, vomited on, yelled at, spend your whole shift on your feet, skip lunch, and still find a way to show compassion and care for your patients and their families. Let’s show our nurses some love and send them some flowers to the nurse’s station at your local hospital. Flowers too pricey, sugar is always appreciated. Send over some cookies, cupcakes, or another sweet treat.
Who doesn’t love the guy/gal who brings in the decadent donuts to the office? Want to surprise them with something healthier and different? Bring in some cut up fruit. Mix some honey, cinnamon, and a squeeze of orange in mascarpone cheese to drizzle on the fruit. Bring in some granola and healthy greek yogurt and you’ve got a simple, inexpensive, memorable breakfast treat to start your team off for a great day.
