Hey,

It's Elisha Goldstein and I'm here with my one of my best friends and family members Rosie and I want to give you one mindful tip that that has really made a huge impact on my life and a huge impact on Thousands of people that I've worked with and it's really really simple and I want you to begin playing with it you know,

There's there's a lot of people out there that we come in contact with moment to moment day to day and typically we just either don't see them or We don't really pay that much attention to them But I want you to do one simple thing From here on out and try it out throughout the rest of this day or maybe the rest of this week and see what impact It has on you.

I want you to be on the lookout for the good moments that people are having maybe they're Laughing with each other maybe someone's exercising or maybe somebody is doing something fun or maybe someone has just had an accomplishment a co-worker a colleague or something like their family member or Maybe you're connecting and gathering with other people and there's laughter in the air and something like that in that moment I want you to see the person in front of you a person just like you who wants to feel cared about and understood wants to feel a sense of belonging and I want you to sit in your in your heart drop into your heart for a minute and just say yeah good for you Oh,

I'm so happy for your your moment.

It's so great That somebody else is having a great moment and see what that does in my experience It's been incredibly uplifting and I feel a sense of connection in doing that and an age of I don't know like increasing disconnection is what I see as this is a really powerful practice to bring into your life and I had even kind of expanded a little bit if you're willing to play and be adventurous a bit and expand it to these these little ones over here and And see if you see them and they seem to be happy and having a good a good time or any other animals or anything like that,

You know,

Just have a have a Uplifting spirit in in your mind and heart for them like a good for you I'm happy for this animals having a good time Whatever that might seem a little out there to you But just kind of play with it people and being other beings on this planet When you see them in a good space and a good moment tune your mind over to that and just be happy for their happiness Play with that as an experiment and just see what you notice.

One of my favorite things is joining in the joy my dog has for everything!!

Spectacular idea! I'm going to use it and share with friends 🧡 . So glad I spent the few minutes to enrich my life!

I love this, I actually do this everyday. It’s so uplifting. Its only the last year or so that I’ve done this. I don’t know how or why I started, but it was around the time I started practicing meditation!! Hmmm kindness and heart warming moments are everywhere.

I love this. I am going to do it with people and animals.

Always give a smile or compliment, it truly makes peoples day! Kindness, recognition & spreading joy is always a good choice

Couldnt agree more! Blessings & light to you! 🙏🌄🦋

You can relay positivity to other beings besides humans! It’s proven in studies of water and what happens when projecting love vs hate type energies. Dr Emoto. So project that love and kindness to all living things! Thank you for this reminder as we interact with people, animals, all living things. We are all connected. ✌🏽🩵🙏🏽

This is so true. Seeing joy in others gives me joy. Thank you 🙏

Thank you for this simple reminder. Sometimes you say Congratulations because it is the right thing to do but just be mindful and feel their joy and happiness and let it wash through you as you as you are by present n the moment. Thank you 🙏🏻

Great message! "Smile and the whole world smiles with you"... It's great that you can congratulate people in their happy moments but don't forget to share your special moments with others as well! Thank you for a wonderful message!

Great 😃 Thank you - just what I needed this morning!

Dear Dr. Elisha, Good for you the way you care so much about animals, and you’re especially fond of your Rosie who obviously receives a lot of love. Many thanks! 🙏❤️

This is a great practice. I love watching people have fun
😊

This is a great practice! I learned this from you years ago and appreciate the reminder to offer good wishes to others and celebrate their joyful moments. I felt this last night as I watched the snowfall and saw kids outside making snow angels. ❄️I hope 2025 is off to a joyful start for you and yours. Thank you, Elisha!

Great plan for me! Thank you
So happy to hear your pups happy!!

Thanks for this great tip for increasing connection!

I do this unintentionally and now I will do it more intentionally! 🙏😊

What a wonderful experiment. I’m going to try it! Listening to this may have even inspired a poem from me. One line really kind of hit me and I think it might be a great title and start to a poem. Thank you! 🙏

I have done this in my own life and can attest that it really does work- thank you for sharing and getting this out there ♥️

Great tip! Always good to see the joy others are experiencing. It can be infectious. Thank you!
