Quote of the Day: Try to make at least one person happy every day, and then in ten years you may have made three thousand, six hundred and fifty persons happy, or brightened a small town by your contribution to the fund of general enjoyment. - Sydney Smith
I think this is a great thing to do and should set it as part of your new year's resolution! It can be something really basic such as saying good morning to people around you, starting from your family, neighbours, schoolmates, colleagues. Being greeted with a good morning and big smile definitely sets my day off on the right note :)
I think this is a particular good and useful thing to do when you are going through a rough / down time. To make someone happy, you would first have to adjust your mindset to think positively, and this would help steer your thoughts away from negativity. Our minds are closely connected with our emotions. When we are feeling down, all the bad things would seem to happen at the same time, but that is because we would tend to just notice things that connected to our state of mind. This negativity would just continue to grow and spiral downwards. By tasking yourself to make at least one person happy every day, it would help to shift your focus from the negative thoughts and make your day just a little brighter and happier.
