Hello, how are you? How was your day? It’s great that you’re able to take time to read this, thank you so much.
When your partner or child walks in the house what do you see? What do you do? Do you notice the stain on their tie, or their shoes that need polishing? Do you tell them to ‘hurry up and get a move on because we’re going to be late’? Or are you doing something important and merely glance in their direction, mumbling at them to get their homework done? How does it make you feel? How does your loved one feel? Are you even aware?
During an (old) episode of Oprah the other week, one of her guests had a brilliant lesson on greeting your loved ones with joy. It's a very simple thing to do, but makes a massive difference to the quality of your life and those around you. The next time you greet someone, whether they’ve come home from work or school, or you haven’t seen them in a while, smile, make a fuss, get excited, run to the door to hug them. Make them feel that they’re the centre of your universe, that they’re number one. It only has to take a few seconds of your time and gives you both a lovely lift for the day.
Why not make this your new year’s resolution? It’s enjoyable for all involved, meaning it’s far easier to keep to after the second week!
