Be the Change You Seek in the World

A very warm welcome to today’s exploration of the best ways to achieve greater happiness, better health and a deeper sense of inner peace, calm and balance. When we think of wellness, we usually focus on our own personal sense of wellbeing and it’s true that we could all benefit from an increase in happiness and positive energy. But, as we’ve often mentioned, it’s very helpful to consider that everything is connected. So, whilst you’re thinking about the best ways to enhance your own wellbeing, take a moment to consider how you can make a positive difference to the people you encounter. They might be family, friends, colleagues or strangers but the same principle applies. Find a way to make the encounter memorable.

It’s good to remember that people don’t really need your well-intentioned advice, wisdom or guidance. It might be a shock to realise that they’re not really interested in your views or opinions. What they need is your willingness to listen for a few moments and show that you understand them as fellow human beings. A smile. A gesture of support or encouragement. A welcome that reaches all the way from your heart to your eyes. We are a socially-dependent species that needs social interaction in order to thrive. Yet we live in a world where loneliness and isolation are driving record levels of depression. We need to reach out to each other with the simplest of gestures and offer our willingness to listen. It’s a deeply healing and reassuring mechanism for restoring balance to our connections with the people we encounter.

Wellbeing is a universal concept that is not limited to the confines of our personal field of perception. It touches everything. Take a few moments today to offer the gift of your undivided attention and be the smile and the positive change that you wish to see in the world.
