So, lets face it. 2016 is an interesting year. With arguably negative political campaigns held on either side of the Atlantic, leading to negativity spilling out of the newspapers and impacting people in a real way. It feels like the world is leaving 2016 in a far more negative place then when it entered it.
I’m not going to write a full discourse looking at why this may be the case, instead I’m going to look at a few ideas of what could be done to improve matters. (There’s no way of phrasing the next sentence without being cheesy) How can we spread more love in 2016?
Read The Gruffalo…
Kids books are awesome, and the world needs more awesome. Try The Gruffalo for a flavour of awesome. Actually try anything from Julia Donaldson.
Volunteer For A Local Charity / Organization.
Because volunteers are awesome, and there’s probably something out there you’d like doing. (I personally know of opportunities to cook, and build lego.*) If nothing else, doing something good might help to improve your CV.
Write A Love Letter To A Stranger.
Like these guys…
Cook Your Neighbour A Meal.
Because who doesn’t love free food?
(Doesn’t have to look this nice)
Offer Free Hugs
Like EVERYTHING
Step 1. Order loads of these stickers from Amazon.
Step 2. PUT THEM EVERYWHERE!!!!
Any other suggestions you’d like to share?
*These are two separate volunteer positions, at different places. There isn’t a magical place where you cook AND play with lego…. I dont think.
