On Mondays, me and the kids take my Mum Chippy Chips for lunch.
Yesterday, while I was waiting the girl serving asked if I was okay and I could tell by the tone of her voice she meant it.
I was fine, just really tired and I looked a bit spaced out from a busy weekend; Friday all day at the hospital getting my Mum’s cataracts sorted, Saturday and Sunday a quick camping trip to the Brecons with K.
She noticed that I wasn’t my usual self, “You’re usually really chipper and smiley and ask everyone how they are and have a little chat”.
And that’s the first basic of living a healthier lifestyle – be nice.
Give compliments, have a chat, be curious about people and you will have a much more interesting day.
More interesting days equal more interesting weeks and so on.
All from smiling and asking people about their day.
The bonus is we usually get very generous portions, I think that is at least influenced by being smiley.
