Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites - Tell Yourself Good Stories

Did you do something today that made you smile? Maybe it even gave you goosebumps or made you a tiny bit teary eyed? Revisit that – what did you do that created that moment of happiness inside you?

Today I saw a mom and her daughter walking hand-in-hand in a parking lot. They were going into the store I just came out of. Mom looked frazzled and her 3- or 4-year-old girl was lagging behind looking like she might burst into tears at any moment. The little girl and I locked eyes, I smiled at her and told her she was the best helper for her mom and wasn’t it fun to help her in stores. Her little face went from mad to curious, and then I said she needed a shirt that said Best Helper Ever because that’s what she was.

It was like a cloud lifted off of her – she lit up with a smile, skipped a step or two to catch up with her mom and my guess is that the shopping experience was better for them both today. And I had to wipe my eyes a little bit.

I don’t know where the words came from, and sometimes you won’t know where you get them either. When you have an experience like that, play it like a movie inside your head whenever you need a little boost. You do good things in the world – give yourself credit for them!
