One thing you can always count on, is festive cheer. Here are a few ideas for spreading some joy in your office, house or just for your own benefit!
1. Kind gestures
Compliment someone sincerely on something specific, like their effort, kindness, or style.
Perform small acts of kindness, like holding the door open, paying for someone’s coffee, or leaving a positive note for a colleague or friend.
Offer help when you notice someone struggling, whether it’s carrying groceries or lending an ear.
2. Share your time and attention
Spend quality time with someone who is having a stressful time, outside of the office.
This could be as simple as offering to walk with them to the station, or grabbing lunch from the supermarket together.Listen actively and show genuine interest in what someone is saying. This can make them feel valued and understood.
