1) That Jangling Sound when you walk is actually CHANGE in your pocket! It's probably about $10 worth of change. Plunk it into a coinstar and hit the donate button and choose from a great list of worthy nonprofits. go to http://www.coinstar.com/ to find the closest one near you.
2) Stop berating your thighs for being jiggly, your hair for being curly, your nose for not being Jessica Alba's...kindness starts at HOME.
3) Say "no problem" to the waitress who forgot your ice water, the guy who cut in front of you in line, even the ex whose name you still curse. Forgiveness, after all is the 401(karma) for life!
4)Yeah, if he'd turned left where you (and google maps) told him to, you'd be there by now. You know it, he knows it. Just make the choice not to rub it in.
5) Commit to a 3-compliments-a-day minimum. And stick to it!
6) Simple rule: Know the name of anyone you see at least once a week. That means your dry cleaner, the office security guard AND your strange neighbor (unless they're crazy and will hurt you)
7) Teach a kid how to tie a shoelace, the difference between lay and lie, or how to make a bully sorry he ever messed with you-anything that took you too long to learn on your own.
8) Wow, somebody should really help that lady lug her heavy stroller up the stairs. Wait, isn't your middle name somebody?
9) treat yourself to that brownie sundae. A recent study found that people may act more altruistic after a major infusion of glucose!
