Phone: Simply pick up the day’s newspaper as you sip your morning coffee and you’re likely to be hit head on with headlines shouting out the latest shootings, crime sprees, terrorist threats, and disgraced politicians.

Remember the classic song lyrics performed by Dionne Warwick?
What the world needs now is love sweet love,
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of.
Today, be the catalyst for change by generating positive energy. You’ll find yourself acting more compassionately and creatively. Here are 10 simple things you can do today – and every day:
- Think of 3 unique talents that you have. Take time to show them off.
- Think of one person who believed in you. Tell or write this person how much it meant to you and what you have achieved as a result.
- Look deep into the eyes of someone you love.
- Dance to your favorite upbeat playlist.
- Really hear what someone is saying by disregarding the content of the words and witnessing the emotion behind the words.
- Help someone, for instance, by opening the door when they’re struggling to open it themselves.
- Tell someone how much you appreciate something they’ve done for you recently.
- Notice what you’re thinking in any given moment. If it’s negative, turn it into an opportunity and take action.
- Watch a funny video or television show. Laugh out loud.
- Take responsibility for your part in a recent disagreement with a friend or family member. Share it with them.
Please share this list and keep the momentum going!
