Why Does It Only Happen In The New Year

Why Does It Only Happen In The New Year

Since January 1 how many times have you said "Happy New Year" to someone? Do you find yourself saying "Happy New Year" to people you hardly know? I know - I do.

I say it to people I cross paths with while walking the dog. I say it to the maintenance people and the gardeners who take care of my complex. I say it to the people I call on the phone to help me fix a problem or order a product or answer a question.

I go out of my way to call, text and/or email as many people I know telling them "Happy New Year." I even wished my dog "Happy New Year."  Sooo, why do I do this?

For some reason, it feels great just saying it to people. Getting a "Happy New Year" back feels even better. I guess I like to acknowledge people no matter who they are. Saying "Happy New Year" to them makes me feel I'm giving them some of my positive energy.

Now the big question - Why Does It Only Happen In The New Year? Oh sure, we say "Merry Christmas" to many people, but nothing like a hearty "Happy New Year." How about saying the following to everyone (even people you hardly know) during the whole year?

*  "To Your Health"
*  "Thank You"
*  "Have Fun"
*  "I Appreciate What You Do"
*  "Good Morning - Good Day - Good Evening"

Every one of these statements are positive. Giving out positive energy to even those you hardly know, is putting positive energy inside you. They appreciate it and their smile back to you is all you need to have a good day. 

To the special people in your life try always ending the conversation with "I Love You." To the special people in your life instead of greeting them with a hand shake give them a big hug.

Always remember, you get what you give. Doing what I'm suggesting (if you really mean it) is all about you and your happiness.  Sooo, don't let the "New Year" be the only time you give cheer. 

Give Cheer All Year Long Because You Deserve It
