I feel like I’m constantly trying to find ways to make the world a better place – from simple acts like picking up litter on my morning dog walk, to carrying my keep cup with me at all times. These are all great acts for the environment, but what about the people around me? What am I doing to make their lives easier or to make them feel good?
When I think about my favourite people there are traits that they all share – kindness, warmth and that magical way of making you feel extra special with their words. Had your hair done? They notice and tell you. Been to a family wedding? They ask you what you wore and how the speeches were. It’s a great skill and one I spent a week trying to master – being more engaged, paying more attention and freely giving compliments to my friends, family and colleagues.
