| Even when we know people’s names, why do we go for days without using them? By using someone’s name, you help them feel seen and acknowledged — and that’s an act of kindness. According to kindness.org’s research in collaboration with the University of Oxford, doing a kind act increases happiness, well-being, trust and compassion. And it can have the same powerful effect on those who receive the act. Try it, and put a smile on both your faces. |

| Here is a different kind of spring cleaning to focus on this week: Get rid of toxic thoughts and negative relationships. You only have time and energy for things and people who bring you joy. If you notice that a person is bringing your spirits down, try to spend less time with them. If your job is stressing you out, consider starting to look for a new one. None of this is simple to do — but it’s worth making an effort to change. |
