January 2022 Events
Enjoy making memories and having fun at home this month! As we all continue to find ways to have fun and enjoy life while staying safe, consider doing some of these activities.
· Expand your thinking with new experiences: Each month for 30 days in a row, commit to doing something new that you have thought about doing, but have not done, and notice how it affects your life. Start this month and do one activity for the next 30 days in a row and then assess how it has impacted your life.
· Write letters to three people in your life to let them know what they mean to you.
· Find a volunteer opportunity at VolunteerMatch.org
· Practice the one a day principle: you can’t delight everybody all the time, but you can do something extraordinary for someone each day. Find a customer, colleague, relative or a friend each day and do something remarkable. Using the one a day principle will make your business and life remarkable.
