We all love making other's day better but sometimes we might be at lose
on how to go about this. Making someone smile not only makes others
happy but it lift your own mood; it is a two way street.
Here we have few simple yet fun ways that will help you with this simple
act of kindness.
1.Crack a joke
Crack a super witty joke. This is one of the easiest ways to turn someone's
mood around. Even if the other person does not break into raucous
laughter, it might just brighten up their day. At least, you would elicit a
smile.
2.Compliment
Compliment, when given right, can bring smiles to people's faces.
If you really like someone look or dress, say so. Say it respectfully
and mean it. This just might be the highlight of their day, you never can
tell. If this is so, you have in your own way help brighten someone's day.
For those we are close to, remind them of how great they are and how
you are happy you have them in your life. We all love to know we are
loved, wanted and needed.
3.Food
That's what makes me happy! Bunch of pizzas, chocolate, or pasta
can bring smiles to all faces even if they are on a diet. This small gesture
will be appreciated by everyone.
4.Random gift
Random gift, flowers or treats if given spontaneously, can work too.
This is especially for those whose love language include gift giving.
Gift on special occasions and just for the sake of it. Random gifts tells
the recipient you think of them.
5.Handwritten notes
Communication has left handwritten notes so far behind they are now
a novelty appreciated by those who receive them. Like a classic car,
its value has increased by virtue of its scarcity.
The high-paced lives we live now and the ease of sending IMs have made
sure we write on the move and communicate digitally now. Write that
note. Go old school and watch that friend's or lover's eyes light up.
6.Apologise
We all do something wrong but things can be salvaged if you apologise
Do not let the matter fester before you apologise. However, hurting those
close to us hurt us and we should try to heal the rift before it becomes
valley.
7.Give tips
This might seem irrelevant but this is something that can bring happiness
to the waiter or waitress who needs every penny he/she can lay his/her
hands on. If you can afford it, do not hesitate to leave a tip before leaving.
That which is just a tip to you might be a big deal for the waiter or waitress.
8.Say thank you
Showing an appreciation can be a smile-inducing. Saying thank you to
people for what they do for you touches a good place in our soul.
Even if the service being offered is supposedly the person's job, say thank
you still.
If you follow these aforementioned things with heart, you will be truly
amazed at how these things and gestures can bring smiles to the faces
of those around you.
How do you too make someone smile?
I would love to know yours too.
Thanks for your time.
See you another time.
