Day 63 - 08:22am, 4 March 2019
I don't need to worry. At least not according to today's training session at work - Don't Worry, Be Happy - I can be happier by following four simple steps - be grateful, connect with others, be kind and try something new. The trainer begins by asking us what makes us happy and when we are happiest. They are fairly easy to answer. It becomes a lot harder when we get to the kindness section.
She advocates undertaking a random act of kindness every day and ask us to write down what RAK we can do today, this week and this month. The thought of being kind is not the issue, it's having to schedule them in that rather goes against the grain. My mind goes blank because I can't get over the thought that it's hardly random if you have to plan them in advance! After all, it's easy to be kind with forethought, harder though to do it in the moment. Being able to act spontaneously, to remain kind and compassionate when things are tense and the pressure is on, that is where the real worth lies.
