For this month’s Feelgood Task, I’m promoting Deepak Chopra’s Law of Giving. He says:
“The universe operates through dynamic exchange … giving and receiving are different aspects of the flow of energy in the universe. And in our willingness to give that which we seek, we keep the abundance of the universe circulating in our lives”
He suggests that the best way to put the Law of Giving into practice is to give something to everyone you come into contact with. It doesn’t have to be a physical gift. It can be a smile, a friendly “hello”. It could be a thoughtful compliment, a cheerful greeting. Gifts of care and appreciation are often worth more than money can buy.
How cheered, valued or rewarded do you feel when someone takes the time to notice your hard work, or to compliment your outfit? How pleasing is it to hear thanks and praise when you put a meal on the table for friends? The thanks, the praise and the smiles are the gifts we can give that bestow blessings on the giver and the receiver.
Try it for the month. I promise you will feel better for it. And it won’t interfere with cash-flow!
