Be My Valentine Everyday!

The phrase for the week is "Make Someone’s Day”

Thursday is St. Valentine's Day! Actually, the entire month is devoted to romance. Make someone's day this week!

Act surprised, even if you aren't--make someone's day! Spend the week performing random acts of kindness. Researchers found that when you do something nice for someone, everyone wins. You feel amazing and you share joy to someone dear or a total stranger.

Just performing an act of kindness at least once a week leads to happiness.

The acts can be as simple as holding the door for someone, complimenting an outfit or paying for lunch. According to Dr. David R. Hamilton, acts of kindness create an emotional warmth, which releases the heart-protecting hormone oxytocin.

So protect your heart and make someone’s day!

I perform random acts of kindness all week.

We can become more flexible without the rigor of a daily six-hour workout. The bad news? Yes! We must be committed, aware of our own limitations and work through the pain to achieve medal-winning behavioral change. We find we are more flexible in certain situations. For example, I’m more flexible when the dentist moves closer to my mouth with the drill. I’m less flexible when I order apple pie and receive chocolate cake. ...

Look Again!!!

The phrase for the week is "look beyond the obvious." Many of us remember this photo from a classroom where the teacher was making a point that one person can see an old woman, while another sees a young woman. Each will be confident they are right and the other wrong. They can even point to the evidence that’s so “obvious.” Of course, the truth is, they are both right, because in this illustration, there is an old woman and young woman. Often in our lives we make snap judgments and act on what we believe are truths. Truths that are so “obvious.” It is only when we are forced to hit the pause button and challenge ourselves to consider other perspectives that we are able to grow and enrich our lives. Looking beyond the obvious allows us to find deeper meaning in the world around us and uncover unexpected truths. I will find deeper meaning in ...
