The first thing I do in the morning?
Wish total strangers a happy life.
The challenge? Doing it before coffee. ☕😊
This is part of a Loving Kindness meditation (also called Metta). And it has some incredible benefits:
✔ Increases empathy & emotional intelligence
✔ Boosts happiness & reduces stress
✔ Strengthens your ability to deal with difficult people
It’s simple. Here’s how:
1️⃣ Close your eyes. Picture someone you love. Wish them happiness & health. (2 min)
2️⃣ Do the same for someone you like.
3️⃣ Now, visualize someone neutral—like a cashier who helped you.
4️⃣ Picture yourself. Yes, you deserve kindness too.
5️⃣ Think of someone you find difficult. Wish them well.
6️⃣ Finally, choose someone you really dislike. Wish them happiness, too.
Wait—why would you do that?
Not because you condone bad behavior, but because it rewires your brain for more emotional balance.
It might feel weird at first. But over time, it softens frustration and strengthens your ability to lead with compassion.
Would you ever try this? Or does it sound too out there for you? 👀
