MINDFUL MONDAY is all about creating Awareness. Today I'd like to talk about Manners. Some people say that they are extinct... and that got me thinking. How often do we use manners in our daily routine? When you bump into someone, do you say "Pardon Me"? Or when you're in rush hour traffic and someone lets you in front of them- do you wave your hand "Thank You"? How about "Yes Please", "Excuse Me" etc...Using manners is a way of communicating respect and showing human kindness. Plus, it never goes out of style! One of the best pieces of advice I ever received was given to me by my sister. I was traveling to Europe for the first time and she said "know your manners" in every country/language I was visiting. Wow! She was so right. Manners are universal. (Grazie Sorella!)
So in honor of Mindful Monday, let's focus on how we can use manners this week and set a good example, especially if we want our kids to learn them too.
~Ciao!
