Sometimes the simplest nudges towards a change in behaviour are the most powerful and effective.
This from Vanessa Van Edwards is one such nudge:
Whenever you see an opportunity to perform a small favor that would take 30 seconds or fewer – like holding the door for someone, offering directions, or even giving a compliment – take it.
The more we seek out opportunities for these kinds of micro-kindnesses, the more we will see them. And before we know it, these kind gestures will have simply become part of who we are.
