Get a good night’s sleep, first and foremost. Then try placing some fragrant fresh flowers in your bedroom. One study found that after a few days of seeing flowers every day, people reported feeling happier and less affected by stress and workday fatigue. They also reported more “feelings of compassion for others.”

| 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.

And it can have the same powerful effect on those who receive the act. Try it, and put a smile on both your faces. |
