It's a wonderful gesture that produces a positive ripple effect. In my job as a sales rep, I quite often have my hands, arms & shoulders full of product. I am always so thankful when someone helps me out by holding the door for me. In turn, I also do this for others because I know how good it feels and it is a simple & easy gesture. So this week, while you are out & about- try to practice this Mindful Monday tip. Maybe it's a mom with a stroller who needs assistance at the store or maybe it's someone who, like me, just has their hands full. Whatever the case, big or small, open the door for someone. I can guarantee you that most people will smile at you & say "Thank You". Some will even be caught off guard by this nice gesture from a complete stranger!
Chivalry is dead- unless we continue to practice it!! Have a great week. I hope that this exercise of opening doors-literally -will transmute to opening the doors to our own awareness, attentiveness and caring for ourselves and others.
