  1. Smile. Smile to a stranger. Not a creepy, weird smile, just a pleasant, “how’s it going?’” smile. Suggested places to smile: in an elevator, on your way in/out of a store, at the Dept. of Motor Vehicles.
  2. Merge. Let “that guy” merge in front of you in traffic. Getting home 8 feet later doesn’t matter.
  3. Hold. Hold the door for someone. Anyone. Let them go in first.
  4. Respect. Treat everyone with the respect you want them to give you.
  5. Don’t Be A Hater. Don’t be a hater on social media or anywhere else. Man up. If you have something negative to say, then say it in a tactful way and own your opinions. Don’t write someone off just for disagreeing with you. Listen to and learn the other side.
  6. Encourage. Encourage someone. Find a way to tell someone they did something good. Even that annoying coworker who constantly complains.
  7. Give. Give money, or more importantly, time to a cause you care about.
  8. Deal with it. Don’t be a jerk when things don’t go your way at work or at home. Take a breath and deal with it. Put it in perspective. Gone are your childish ways.
  9. Buy. Buy coffee/food for the person behind you in the drive through. Anonymously. Don’t expect a thank you. That’s not why you’re doing it.
  10. Write. Write someone a note. Not an email. A note, on paper, that you have to mail. You’ll be blown away by the impact it will have. Talking to you Millennials.

1. Be open about your needs.   I believe that the first thing people need to do is identify what truly matters to them and communicate it. Don’t hide it and don’t expect others to guess what makes you feel balanced and fulfilled. Do you need to leave work at 5 p.m. so you can have dinner with your family? Do you need to step away at 12 p.m. to attend a yoga class? Whatever your sweet spot is you need to find it and be transparent about it.
