Today’s tip is to smile and be friendly to the people you see today.
Another trip today. Back last night from Seattle and off to LA today. I try to do this in general, but making a note to emphasize this today, no matter how tired or stressed I might feel.

Today’s tip is to spend time wishing for other people to be happy and well.
This is like praying for others. I don’t know that it helps them, but I do think it’s a positive coping step for me to think positively about others and wish them well.
I have a few friends in this community that are struggling with physical or mental health issues. A few others have Covid. I’m wishing them well today, hoping that their struggles are short and not too impactful to their lives.

Today’s tip is to be kind and supportive to everyone you interact with.
An easy one today. I’m in Redmond, at VS Live, with the chance to smile, be kind, and helpful to everyone. I am writing this ahead, but I have a reminder to go out of my way today to follow this tip. From service personnel, to attendees, fellow speakers, and even other guests of the hotel.

Today’s tip is to send an uplifting message to someone you can’t be with.
I travel a lot, but I still don’t see as many people as I’d like, or see them often. I’ve been very lucky in life to meet so many people all over the world and have great moments with them.
There are plenty of people I can’t be with in the short term, but one of them is my brother. I’ve got a busy fall and not sure if I can find time to get out there, so I sent him a note to remind him I’m thinking of him and wishing him well. It was good timing, as the next week was his anniversary, so I got a reason to send another uplifting message.
