JOT - HUGS

Just One Thing - Hug someone!

A simple action with a huge impact: Hugs.
Love, support, comfort, joy, connection emanate from hugs. 

Had a couple of hard conversations this morning. The types of conversations that I would normally run from and avoid. Powered through the hard parts and ended with a hug.  This simple physical connection made me feel better.

My one thing today is to give a hug.  The best thing about hugs is that in addition to giving a gift to someone else, you also receive.

JOT - SAY HELLO

JUST ONE THING:  HELLO! I have been in the house for two days sick.   I am getting a bit stir crazy but do not feel like being social.  My JOT today is to get out and say hello to someone. This accomplishes two things: 1) connects me to people other than my family; and 2) contributes to a friendlier environment out in the world. The Power of HELLO  notes that sometimes the simplest things can make a big difference. Will you join me doing this one thing today?

Just One Thing (JOT)

Change is possible by doing just one thing.  One thing a minute, one thing a day, one thing this year.   JOT REVOLUTION operates on the philosophy that doing just one thing can revolutionize your life and the lives of those around you.

JOT - BREATHE

APPLE WATCH - BREATHE APP Just one thing:  Breathe Took one minute to work on my breathing.  This is a skill that needs development.   A resting heart rate between 60-100 is considered normal for a person my age.  So, while I am in that range, my goal is to focus my breathing and lower my heart rate below this starting point.
