Peoples’ attitudes are contagious. If you want to bring a bit more energy and positivity into your own life and others’ too – try saying these simple things. But be warned, it must be with a smile… and the smile must be genuine.
- “Hello” – It doesn’t matter whether it’s the person next to you in the lift or the guy waiting for the same train. You’d be amazed what simply saying ‘hello’ can do for your mood and the recipient’s.
- “How are you?’ Asking how someone is might be just what an upset person needs to pull them out of a black hole.
- “I’d love to” Positive people don’t close the door on unknown opportunities; they give things a go and give themselves as many chances at success as possible.
- “Thank you” Positive people show gratitude where they should and give credit where credit’s due. Showing appreciation and saying ‘thank you’ makes people more likely to want to help again in future.
Stay positive!
