Making others feel good for No Good Reason
The past 2 installments of the No Good Reason (NGR) series carried you through AA (Attitude Adjustment) to handle your negativity and the apparent reason for NGR. The next AA is something you can take much further and it is more than just positive habit forming.
Let me bring the end to the front by stating for a fact that this AA is about being congruent. If you don’t see the benefit of expanding your awareness and don’t buy into the concept of contribution as a means of receiving, you can skip this post.
Read on.
The following coaching process takes you through the NLP Neuro-logical Level so that you can realign yourself to this AA:
Think of the last time you feel good on the receiving end of a kind word, a good intention or a benevolent albeit small deed.
Step out of yourself and take the position of the person administering it. Ask yourself:
How good does it feel to be you? Did you have to go out of your way to do it? Shut out the negative voice like so and access the core of your being. Your being small doesn’t serve the world. When you feel an inkling of something approaching a stirring to affect the people and environment around you with goodness knowing that it will come back to you, embrace it.
Congratulations, you have just expanded your awareness. The Collective Consciousness stands to gain and give you what you have manifested positively. Think GIGO!!
Simple…yet profound in it’s own way, right?
How many times do we lament that the world has too much negativity? All these lousy thoughts and feelings cordon off the good stuff that are coming into our lives. Flowers attract bees and we get honey. What attracts flies and cockroaches? What I think is reality, will be. How I act is manifested in what I receive. Who I see myself as will determine how I interact with the world at large.
So smile when you meet the eyes of a stranger. Address the waiter serving you by his name. Make someone’s day. Say a kind word to someone who doesn’t ask for it. Appreciate your boss even when she is mean (find her positive intention). Over-deliver good service.
You don’t have to think what’s-in-it-for-me? You don’t have to be mean just to make your point. You don’t have to care less.
Make others feel good for No Good Reason…for the attitude alone is reason enough. It makes you congruent with the things you want in your life that you can start to attract them.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be Brilliant, Gorgeous, Talented, and Fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
Thank you, Marianne Williamson!
And who are you not to start the good things rolling first?

I really enjoyed this post. It’s easy to forget how powerful our physical reactions are! I like your approach here. Especially reminding the reader that we are not always ready for change — though we think we are! I agree that the real failure is letting fear stop us. Thanks for posting this!
Hi Julie,
Thank you for your kind words. I am glad it was helpful! “Coping with Stress” is a part of a series of articles on Stress that I have written, hopefully Life Coaches Blog will be posting the rest. So keep in touch!
Kindest regards,

This is a great article. I especially like the list of symptoms… some of which a lot of people may not recognize as a sign of stress.
It’s also important to continue with your stress managment activities even when there are no signs or symptoms of stress. Doing this will help you become stressed less often and ward off stress before it even begins.
Hi Jill,
Absolutely, it should be a way of life! Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.
Kindest regards,
Karen
Hi,
Great site!!!!! Good health is very important with the high cost of medical coverage. We need to have a healther lifestyle by taking care of our health eating and exercising. I am a cancer survivor and I know. Our health is our greatest asset. Keep up the Good Work!!!!!
The physical body does not differentiate between happy stress and overwhelm. Stress is stress. We need to develop coping mechanisms in our daily life to avoid the harmful, physiological effects of stress.
