You’ve probably heard that happiness comes from within, but this isn’t always the case. You can also be a source of joy for others. To be honest, it doesn’t take much to bring a smile to someone’s face.
Happiness can be discovered in the most trivial of things, frequently as a result of simple activities that involve little or no effort on our side.
Regrettably, we live in a time when everything revolves around us. We don’t have the time or care to think about the people around us.
Making people happy can quickly lift your mood and the mood of those around you. So, why not begin right now?
1. Smile
Make it a practice to smile, even if you are not in the mood. It all starts at home. People around you will be unhappy if you are not happy. You can start by learning how to fake a smile, even if you’re not a particularly passionate person.
2. Greet strangers
A simple ‘hello’ followed by light chat does not necessitate much bravery. Don’t be afraid to speak up. Recognize and appreciate those around you. If you meet someone new today, try this.
3. Use the magic words
Please and thank you should be said. “Can you please pass me the salt?” say at the dinner table today. When you get the salt cellar, thank them.
4. Help them carry their stuff
Are you going to the store today? Help someone who is struggling with their bags if you spot them. Such acts are especially appreciated by the elderly, pregnant women, and moms.
5. Hold the door
Never shut a door in someone else’s face. It takes only 2 to 3 seconds to complete. Such acts of kindness are not always overlooked. You will be greeted with gratitude and a grin in return.
