soupornuts’ reasons to click - #7

November 14, 2007 · Posted in Inspiration, Motivation, People Skills 

Today I am writing the seventh installment of ‘reasons to click’. Let start with a couple of articles/posts guaranteed to get you in the right mood.

1. The Gratitude Dance – visit Debra Estep at Deb_Inside and watch the video. It’s guaranteed to put a smile on your lips and keep it there all day. I was so inspired by it that I did the Gratitude dance for my wife right in the middle of a crowded restaurant parking lot yesterday. Needless to say, she sped off pretending not to know me, but she was smiling.

2. The Art of Smiling – now that you’ve got all your smiling muscles warmed up, take a look at this great post by Tina Su on the pleasures and benefits of smiling. You can change or make someone’s day with a your smile. Unleash the power!

3. A brain-injury success story – my wife is a speech pathologist who often treats patients who have lost or have limited swallowing capabilities due to traumatic head injuries. So, when I stumbled across this story about Ryan Reitmeyer and his parent’s determination to help their son recover from a devastating boating injury, I stopped to watch the video and read the article.

It is truly amazing and encouraging to see the progress that he has made and continues to make. Never give up.

4. Click for free mamograms – regular readers know of my involvement to help breast cancer survivors, so when I learned about this site I just had to see for myself. The breast cancer site provides visitors with a big pink button to click on. By clicking on this button, you provide free mamograms for women in need. Sponsors pick up the tab.

I can’t think of any better reason to click.

5. Be productive – you know the drill, make a to-do list and then get busy doing the things on the list. Right? Scott Young posted an article on Lifehack.org that lists 15 Tips to Make Today the Day That You Finish Your To-Do List. Check it out, we can all be more productive.
