00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.799
Hey there friend, Chris Evergreen here. Welcome

00:00:02.799 --> 00:00:06.620
to your daily goodwill for Friday, December 19th.

00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:09.740
If your calendar is starting to look like a game

00:00:09.740 --> 00:00:12.660
of Tetris, and your brain feels like it's buffering,

00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:16.480
you're not alone. This time of year can be loud.

00:00:16.820 --> 00:00:19.820
Not just with parties and plans, but with expectations.

00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:25.000
Yours, other people's, all of it. So here's today's

00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:29.160
tiny piece of helpful life advice. Do one small,

00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:34.060
invisible good deed and tell nobody. Not because

00:00:34.060 --> 00:00:36.479
it has to be secret, but because it does something

00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:39.920
powerful to your mind. It reminds you that you're

00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:43.020
still in control of your choices, even when life

00:00:43.020 --> 00:00:46.359
feels chaotic. And it adds warmth to the world

00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:49.600
without turning it into a performance. Some easy

00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:53.240
examples. Leave a kind note for someone to find

00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:56.259
later. Put away a shopping cart that isn't yours.

00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:59.979
Send a thinking -of -you text to someone who's

00:00:59.979 --> 00:01:03.619
been quiet lately. Or, my favorite, compliment

00:01:03.619 --> 00:01:06.540
someone on something they chose, not something

00:01:06.540 --> 00:01:09.200
they can't control. You've got a great sense

00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:13.680
of style. Or, you handled that really well. Then,

00:01:13.700 --> 00:01:16.719
before the day ends, take 10 seconds and ask

00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:20.200
yourself, What's one thing I did today that I'd

00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:24.140
be proud of if nobody ever knew? That's how you

00:01:24.140 --> 00:01:27.599
build a life you actually like living. All right,

00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:31.420
breathe easy. You've got this. I'll be back tomorrow

00:01:31.420 --> 00:01:34.019
with another minute of calm and goodwill.
