We all know the feeling — a friend tells us a joke and we laugh together, really let go and laugh, and enjoy a moment of pure, unadulterated happiness. It’s as if, in an instant, we drop all of our problems, all at once. We feel warm and light, wonderfully unencumbered by self-concern...we burn brighter, dialing up our internal wattage without even trying.
What a wonderful, intoxicating feeling, and it levels up when it bleeds into our next interaction, with the cashier or the barista, your friend or your child...
So, try this: Throughout your day and in a flash, invoke this carefree, 25% brighter feeling. Dial it up.
Burn 25% more interested, 25% more compassionate, 25% less judgmental...and then ride the wave of positive affect.
At the end of the day, as you’re falling asleep, reflect on how invoking 25% brighter made a difference, for both yourself and your interactions with others.
Wake up tomorrow and commit to doing it again. 😊
