Instructions

Write down ideas which come to your mind - Which small things you can do on daily basis to improve lives of people around you?Write them down.Keep the list in your head and look for oportunities throughout the day: When you can do one of those things? If it needs some preparation, plan it in your calendar.When you keep the list in your head, it will be much easier for you to spot the opportunities.

ACTION!

that it's ok when you have a bad day and don't do anything from the list. Don't feel guilty for that. Humans aren't capable of working at 100% . Give yourself a rest and continue when you feel better.Here is some inspiration for the activities, sorted by themes:PS: I added some activities for personal health too, because you need to keep your mind and body in a good condition to be able to spread happiness😉

Don't forget

SOCIAL

Write a message to the one friend you haven't seen for a while

for something different than only clothes.

Give a genuine compliment

You can make their favourite food or try some new recipe!

Cook something for a loved one

...for something you've been taking for granted

Say Thank you!

PHYSICAL HEALTH

try to find some quiet place without many carsTURN your mobile phone OFF while being outside

Take a 30 minute walk

To share happiness, you need to be in a good mood!

Get enough night sleep

ENVIROMENTAL

The key is not to recycle more but to buy less.Only 9% of plastic we throw away is recycled❗️(but that doesn't mean you should stop recycling! It has it's purpose too!)So keep this in your mind the next time you see some shiny new stuff. Do you really need it?If you want to check the percentage of recycled plastics, here is the link:https://www.dw.com/en/why-most-plastic-cant-be-recycled/a-64978847

Try to REDUCE more than recycle

Identify, which of these products you don't need, stop buing them or replace them with something less harmful

Buy less things in plastic package

and make it a habitIf you already do this, try to use less water while showering.

Close the tap while brushing teeth

my favourite quote with you!It's a dialogue from a movie The Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell. The first character (Adam) wants to make a change, the other character (Haskell) thinks Adam is being foolish and naive. This kind of dialogue happens inside of us from time to time. So don't forget the answer for what to say to your internal Haskell the next time you experience this feeling of uselessness:

Let me share...

Haskel: ,,And for What... For What?No matter what you do it will never amount to anything but a single drop in a limitless ocean!" Adam: ,,What is an ocean...but a multitude of drops?"

#5 Select Your ACTION here 👇!

It can be difficult to believe that just one person can make a difference.But you are already making a difference - right NOW.Even if you don't do anything:

Is it possible?

You never do "nothing". You define your (and our) future by the things you do, but also by the things you DON'T do.

Your inaction is also form of action

<ol><li>Imagine being on a trip in a forest. Suddenly, you find a wounded person lying on the ground. He's bleeding.</li><li>You are worried that you wouldn't be able to help him properly, so you rather do nothing.</li></ol>"nothing"But you are basically killing him.This is how inaction is action.

You killed him

This principle applies to EVERYTHING you don't do in your life. Maybe you don't know how to do it properly or you just have no idea where to start.But...By not choosing any path, some path is automatically given to you...and given to other people around you too.

Life chose instead of you

It's better to do at least SOMETHING SMALL.Something really tiny. Because that small step compared to "nothing" is SO MUCH!

Choose your path

<ul><li>You may not always see how you impact the people around you</li><li>but everything you do adds up over time</li></ul>

REMEMBER!

<ul><li>making the world a better place often means bettering it for a few people at a time</li></ul>

Start with one person

Every time you change just one person’s world, you’re starting a butterfly effect with the potential to improve lives ﻿for generations to come.

The next post is going to be about concrete SMALL steps which you can do on daily basis to improve the world around you😉

Don't know where to start?

The quote is from Waterford.org where I got the inspiration for two ideas of this post (Remember and Start with one person)Here is the link:https://www.waterford.org/education/how-to-change-the-world/

#3 How to reach your GOALS before you DIE

Small action (or inaction) is always followed by a chain of other events which would never happen, if you acted differently. This is the principle of butterfly effect.

Quick introduction

My day was terrible. You certainly know that feeling when everything just goes wrong. My math test went wrong, I missed the buss and I had to wait another half an hour for the next one. It was raining.When the buss finally arrived, I got on. The whole way home I was feeling exhausted.I was getting off, when I heard a voice behind my back: ,,Goodbye! And have a beautiful day!"I turned and realised that it was the bus driver talking to me. It surprised me, because bus drivers in our city never interact with passengers, unless it's absolutely neccessary. And this one wished a nice day to me.

The bus driver

,,Thank you! Goodbye!"I responded.By the time I got home, the exhaustion was gone. I was delighted by the words of the bus driver, it just made my day.If he didn't say anything to me, I wouldn't have continued writing my first novel.The bus driver helped me a lot. And he said only two sentences!This was the time I realised that even the smallest gestures of kindness can literally change someones day. 🦋

He started a "domino"

The next day after school I walked into a school changing room and there was this boy who doesn't speak too much (I bet you have this type of person in your class or workplace too). Our lockers are near each other so I meet him quite often. He never smiles.I decided to do something similar to what the bus driver did to me.When I was leaving I said: ,,Bye, have a nice day." and smiled.

In a changing room

He looked confused at first (and I completely understand why - I would be confused too...)But then he turned to me and said: ,,Thanks. You too." with a subtle smile.A week after this he asked me about what is going to be on the next test (he never did that before). Something changed.Now, we still have small conversations from time to time. We aren't best friends, but we are always happy to see each other.

I learned that not everybody reacts to smile or compliment in a visible way. Sometimes it takes some time before you see how it helped. Sometimes they don't respond at all.But that doesn't mean that they aren't glad to hear that. We can't read people's minds. We don't know, what's going on there.Maybe they just don't know, what to say. Or they're shy. Or they're shocked because they didn't expect that.

Ungrateful? I don't think so...

Everything should be done only to certain extend. I think this is a question of common sense. If you fake being positive all the time, it can get people around you really annoyed rather than happy, because they may see through your mask and consider you as shallow. So it's better to don't force your kindness.

Am I annoying?

Be kind to those around you, you never know, what are they going through

The funny thing about this chapter is, that in my language, the word changing room has nothing to do with the word change. So when I was writing that part, I was laughing so hard when I realised the analogy.

Fun fact

PS: Big thanks to the bus driver - without him, this post would never existed

#2 How The Butterfly Effect Can Change Everything

It's quite obvious that if you keep buying new things and never bother to organize them, your home will soon end up like a total mess.The same goes for your brain.Do you take time for cleaning?

Trash information

Mobiles are perfectly designed to keep our minds engaged. When we are left alone with our own thoughts, it's not always comfortable. We don't want to hear them, we don't want to feel anxiety or regrets from past, so we grab our phones. We cover our problems by the digital clutter. It's quick and it's effective... For short time. This way, we don't have to face our demons.But we don't change anything by running away. They are still here.

The qick fix

It's actually not only about "meditating". It's also about the most fundemental moments of your day - the moments at the bus stop, the moments on the way to you school or job... Let those moments breathe. Let them be quiet, not filled by any podcast, music or scrolling through social media. Your thoughts need to be heard, otherwise they will pile up and get you overwhelmed (you can write them on a piece of paper or keep a journal - I'll be talking about that later in the series)TIP: Leave your phone in your bag, not in your pocket.

Cleaning up the brain clutter

Mobile phones fill up some kind of a strange void inside of us. Every person has different kind of void - different thing is missing.Or accurately - MORE things are missing. It's a combination. And some of them are more complex.I will try to illustrate at least one of the things that most people find missing in their lifes when they sroll social media. But remember - there are some more "voids" inside of you, which you need to figure out by yourself. And they are connected.

Overcoming the scary void inside

If you miss success in your life, you may find yourself looking at content of succesfull people or people giving advises on how to be successful. To some degree it can be inspiring, but it can very quickly lead you inside a rabbit hole of self-improvement content. The problem is that you consume the content, but very often you find yourself not able to fulfill all the standarts and feeling even worse afterwards.

Missing success

Maybe you have found some interesting tips on how to change your life for the better, it helped, but you can't seem to find anything new anymore. You hear the same advises over and over again, searching for new content and hoping this time it will be the gamechanger.But it won't.Please stay with me and keep reading, I need to tell you something.

Watching self-improvement content gives us the illusion that we achieved something already. But in reality - nothing really changed.Digital world is different from the real one and as long as we continue to spend any of our free time there, we vanish the time for the real self-improvement.Maybe you think you need to watch all that videos and read all that books...But I think it's much simpler than this.

Illusion of success

I've came across many different techniques and all of them were promissing success. It always looked like THIS IS FINALLY THE ONE MAGIC FORMULLA I have been looking for✨️.It was always working for some time.But it always ended up by failure. Again. I slipped back. But why?

What I've learned from all the self-improvement content so far

It's about something hidden inside of you. If you aren't able to achieve your goals, no matter how hard you try, the problem is much much more complex than having the wrong technique.Implementing advice without understanding the root issue may not bring you lasting change.Instead of looking for quick fixes, focus on understanding yourself first. You may be thinking: Okay, but HOW?What does it mean exactly to understand myself?

It's not about the technique

This is something you will be learning as long as you live.It's a great mystery of our lifes - Who are we?And why are we here?

Understanding yourself

Imagine dying tommorow. Yeah, it's a bit scary, but necessary question.Is there some mission you would regret not finishing? Take some time to think about this now.

Why are you here?

Maybe all the routines you were trying to acquire weren't all that important to you and there is something else you would rather do instead.You have your own unique place in this world and your own mission to complete. That mission is REALLY important. Trust me.PS: Do you know how butterfly effect works? And why is it so important?Check out the next chapter of this series 😉
