WHAT THE HELL?

A FRIEND IN NEED – A GREAT LIFE HACK

What can you do if a friend needs you, but you’re stuck far away? Someone needs comfort, reassurance, cheering up, a hug – and you’re not there! Here’s what to do:

Send them photos of happy things. If they need to cheer up, send them photos of people and animals smiling. If they need a hug, send them photos of hugs. If they need comfort or reassurance, send them photos of things peacefully sleeping. If they’re depressed, send beautiful nature photos. Just looking at a long series of photos like these not only changes their thoughts, it actually changes the brain chemistry for the better! I like to put a series of 10 or more photos in an email so they can be viewed as a “slide show.” All my unhappy friend has to do is click on “Slide Show” and it’s a done deal.

Because the human mind automatically empathizes with images, it’s impossible to look at so many happy, pleasant things and NOT be influenced. Try it on yourself; it really works. In fact, if you’re feeling bad because you can’t be there, you’ll find that as you collect these photos/cartoons/whatever of happier things, you also cheer up. It’s magic!


I shamelessly steal photos from all over the web. My defense of these thefts is a question; “To what better use could they ever be put?”
