Being nice to others

Because remember the law of attraction clearly states that what you give out, you get back. What you sow you also reap. Do onto others that which you want done onto you.

Okay enough with the clichés. I just wanted to get my point across about the importance of being nice to others and the effect it will have on your life.

The rewards are well worth the effort. The feelings you get when you exchange a smile with a stranger will have an immediate impact on your current mood.

Or the simple conversation you have in the hallway with a fellow coworker who needs your support to accomplish a desired outcome and has nowhere else to turn.

Maybe it’s the close family member who needs a shoulder to lean on. The spouse who needs an ear to express his or her concerns about life in general.

All these opportunities for being nice to others will have an impact on your emotions. Your deep inner feelings. Your belief in yourself and your ability to help others.

And trust me you will get the same kind of response in return. Sure there may be a few people out there who will reject this friendlessness but that’s for them to deal with, not you. Let them deal with their own personal wellbeing.

But for the most part you will get love, acceptance and joy in return.

If being nice to others doesn’t come natural to you, don’t force it. Just start with the thought or intention and the actions will come.

For you maybe face to face interactions don’t work right now. Well then here are a few things you can do in private to get the same results.

- Send out thank you cards to everyone who deserves the recognition. This could be anyone who you feel has done something worth being thanked for.

- Send out “thinking of you” greeting cards to close friends and/or family member. This is a sure energy booster for both parties. Really who doesn’t love a nice, thoughtful card in their mailbox just out of the blue?

- Call someone you haven’t talked to in awhile for no other reason then to say hi.

- Get a Pen Pal. This is a great way to connect with someone. It’s a great way to open yourself up. You and your Pen Pal can exchange letters, support, thoughtful gifts and greeting cards. (No, I don’t work for Hallmark. I just love to send and receive cards. It makes me feel so darn good inside!)

Being nice to others is in essence of being nice to yourself. And remember it can be as simple as a smile.
