#132 Give light to others

 

Happy Social Saturday, 

Today’s breath is:   Laughter breath          

Which: Improves mood

Here’s how to do it: 

1.    Begin diaphragmatic breathing with long, slow inhales through your nose and exhales through your mouth. Remember that each inhale should fill your belly, rather than your chest. On the exhalations, allow your belly to relax, moving back toward the spine.

2.    Now Start laughing, even if it feels forced or like there’s nothing to laugh about. It does not have to make sense. Let the energy of laughter ripple through your body. If this feels difficult, try letting out a big yell first, to move some of that energy out. Then try laughing again. Feel free to move and shake your body or roll around while laughing.

 

OR: Lift your hands up and say, “hoho,” and drop your  hands out and say, “hahaha”-repeat quickly. 

 

Today’s nudge is: Give light to others

By giving light to others, you in turn give light to yourself. Helping others boosts your self-esteem and gives you purpose. Seeing the smile from others when you help them helps you to feel good about yourself. But more importantly, giving light, hope and help to others is just what we should be doing in our lives. We aren’t just here to enjoy the lives we have been given, we are here to help others enjoy their lives, too. We want to be remembered for giving hope to other people, making their days and leaving a positive footprint in this world when we leave. So, when you see people, give light to them. Smile, offer kindness, be respectful and give a helping hand. Both of you will feel great!
