Feeling Blue? Cheer somebody else up!
The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.~Mark Twain
I believe this quote is empowering and interesting. Like so many things in life it is about giving. Cheering up someone else instantly puts you in a different frame of mind. Rather than feeling sorry for yourself your focus changes onto the wants, needs and feelings of another person.
Cheering someone up doesn’t have to be that difficult. A simple card, a bunch of flowers or just telling them how you feel about them in often enough. Another good way is to try and distract them. Start talking about or doing something that will take their mind off of whatever it is that is making them unhappy.
I often find that when I’m feeling blue playing a game or reading a good book sends my mind off on a journey, away from any negative thoughts.
Why not try it today? When you see someone who could do with being cheered up give them some time and help them out.
