Find One Person to Give to Every Day

The energetic season known as Wood in Traditional Chinese Medicine and which is practiced in Phytobiodermie's lines of organic skincare products is a time for GIVING. When we give we regenerate our own selves. Find someone every day, if at all possible, to give to. That's a nice side-effect, but never our reason for giving. We give just to give. And it doesn't always have to include money. Here are some ideas:

• Send a greeting card in the mail to someone who wouldn't expect it. (Greeting cards in the mail are becoming a thing of the past, so it will be appreciated!)

• Give someone a hand massage for five minutes.

• Defer to the person behind you in the cashier line. Let him go ahead of you no matter how much he has in his cart.

• Give a few dollars to the homeless person on the street corner with no strings attached.

• Make a little extra of whatever batch of food you're about to make and give the extra to someone you care about.

• Make a phone call to someone who's been on your mind and see how they're doing.

• Let the other person have the good parking spot and just drive on.
