- 1:10like a big warm hug a big reset maybe even spark a little little little little
- 1:19something inside of you because today's episode is so simple.
- 1:24And so powerful. It is something that you can do to shift your mood and most
- 1:31importantly, completely turn around someone else's day.
- 1:36And honestly, even ripple out into the world in ways that you can't even see.
- 1:42That is what we're talking about today.
- 1:44You are going to make an impact on someone's day and that will ripple into the
- 1:50world, acts of kindness,
- 1:52acts of happiness, this spreading your good vibe energy, and also thinking about what that can do for you.
- 2:00So you may be thinking, Holly, what are you talking about?
- 2:04Please get into the episode. Well, you may have read a book called Let Them by Mel Robbins.
- 2:10I've spoken about it on the podcast, The Let Them Theory, which I have to say,
- 2:15I have fully adopted in my life.
- 2:17And if you haven't heard my episode or if you haven't read her book and you
- 2:22have no idea what we're talking about go back a few episodes mine's called let
- 2:26them something or utilizing the let them theory in real life.
- 2:30In very, very short terms, it's basically not overstressing and trying to orchestrate
- 2:38how other people deal with things, other people in your life,
- 2:42the way that they react, how they are sorting their lives out.
- 2:45And simply just let them, taking that stress off of yourself and just letting
- 2:50them, let them do their thing. Don't let it infiltrate your energy.
- 2:54That's not what we're about today, what I am talking about to you today is a
- 2:59theory that I was thinking about recently and I thought we're not talking about the let them theory.
- 3:06Today we are talking about the tell them theory. Tell them theory.
- 3:14What is the tell them theory? So let me just paint a little picture for you.
- 3:19So you think something nice and then you don't say it.
- 3:23So you notice, you know, like sometimes maybe you go out for brunch with your
- 3:28friends or you go for a coffee and you notice your friend looks amazing,
- 3:32but you just smile and move on. You don't say anything.
- 3:35Now there's nothing wrong with that, by the way, but I think this happens a
- 3:39lot, right? I often do it.
- 3:41I don't know if my mum is listening to this podcast, but I'll quite often be
- 3:45sitting with my mum and I'm like, wow, her skin looks amazing.
- 3:49She looks so pretty today. Or maybe she's glowing.
- 3:52And I'm like, actually, sometimes I'm just noticing it, but I'm not actually verbalizing it.
- 3:58So maybe you go out, maybe your waiter is so kind and so attentive,
- 4:02but you just say thank you and you leave.
- 4:05You see someone maybe online who inspires you or has posted some content that
- 4:11has really touched you and you maybe smile, but then you scroll past it. We all do it.
- 4:17It's a very normal thing in life.
- 4:19We all do it. But the tell them theory is this.
- 4:22If you think something kind, I urge you to tell them.
- 4:28That is it. This is no overthinking, no thinking and talking yourself out of
- 4:34it, thinking is this weird?
- 4:36No, do they know this already?
- 4:39Maybe they do. Maybe they've had 10 compliments today. Who cares?
- 4:43Your only job today is to tell them because here it is guys,
- 4:49because what if that one sentence was exactly what they needed that day?
- 4:56What if that one sentence changed the makeup and the trajectory of their day
- 5:03onto a positive frequency.
- 5:06Your one compliment, your one kind word, your sentence that could change someone's day.
- 5:15Just think of how powerful that is and how impactful that one little thing that
- 5:22you have decided to do or you have decided to say and how that can change into the world.
- 5:29This matters more than you might think. So let's be honest for a while.
- 5:36The world can feel really heavy, can't it, at the moment?
- 5:41There is so much going on. I'm sometimes trying to stay away from the news.
- 5:46I feel like everyone's struggling, aren't they?
- 5:50There's wars going on. There's a cost of living crisis.
- 5:53People are having a really hard time. And I think watching the news can really bring you down.
- 5:59There's so much going on. People are stressed, people overwhelmed,
- 6:03just trying to survive. We're tired.
- 6:06And everyone's dealing with something that we probably know nothing about.
- 6:11And in a world like that, that very world that we are living in at this exact moment is.
- 6:18Kindness isn't small it is
- 6:21so powerful it stands out it
- 6:24shifts energy and the most beautiful beautiful
- 6:27part of it it's free it costs
- 6:30us nothing it's instant it creates instant
- 6:34impact and it is available to you at any given moment it is available for you
- 6:41right now and you literally have the ability to change someone's entire day
- 6:48just by saying the thing that you were already thinking.
- 6:52I really want you to think about that for the moment and just think about how
- 6:56powerful you are to have the impact to change someone's day. And it's really true.
- 7:03I mean, if you think of a time where maybe someone said to you, wow, do you know what?
- 7:08You look really great or that dress looks stunning on you, or you are handling
- 7:14this situation so well, or you are thriving, it just lifts you.
- 7:20You carry yourself a little bit differently. You walk a little bit taller.
- 7:25You feel, sometimes you feel on top of the world and you think, wow.
- 7:29And you quite often think throughout
- 7:31the day, wow, what a lovely moment that was. Wow, I feel lifted.
- 7:36Maybe it might urge you to kind of compliment someone else because you are fully
- 7:42charged with this positive energy from having received this lovely kind comment.
- 7:48And, you know, let's make it really real in every really day life.
- 7:53Now, if you're in a coffee shop, maybe your barista smiles, maybe makes,
- 7:59has a little chat with you, makes you feel seen.
- 8:01I always notice how people retell you stories when they've had a nice moment
- 8:09of connection with someone.
- 8:11So if that's someone, like I say, your barista, or maybe it's the person in
- 8:15the local shop or the bakery or someone at work or a delivery driver.
- 8:21And if you think about moments where you think you have a little connection,
- 8:26maybe they made some chat with you.
- 8:28I quite often see people retell these stories and they come back to the table
- 8:32and they go, that waitress, that barista was so lovely. They said this and they said that.
- 8:41And you can see their energy shift and you can tell by the way that they want
- 8:45to retell you this story.
- 8:47Because this act of kindness, this act of making someone feel seen,
- 8:53it makes you feel special. It makes you feel alive.
- 8:56So if you are in the coffee shop and your barista smiles, makes lovely chat
- 9:01with you, maybe makes you feel seen, instead of just taking your coffee and
- 9:05going, you know, leaving and saying thanks.
- 9:09Just take a moment. This will honestly, I tell you, I can't tell you how groundbreaking
- 9:15this is and how it will make you feel and how it will make them feel.
- 9:19So instead of just leaving with a coffee, tell them.
- 9:23You just say before you leave, by the way, you're so lovely.
- 9:26You've absolutely made my morning. Thank you.
- 9:29Can you imagine if that was you and you serve someone? Maybe you work in a shop
- 9:32or wherever you're serving customers and someone said, by the way,
- 9:36I just want to tell you, you're really, really lovely. and you've made my morning today.
- 9:40You would feel amazing. Now, that person might have been on a,
- 9:45you know, six, eight hour shift, maybe at the end of a stressful shift,
- 9:50you don't know what they've got going on in their private life.
- 9:53Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe they just really needed to hear that.
- 9:58And again, you have had, you have given kind of your power over,
- 10:05you've offered your power to change that person's day.
- 10:09And they might go home later and think about you and think, wow.
- 10:15That customer was so kind to me.
- 10:18They made me feel amazing. Now, isn't that great? And actually,
- 10:22this reminds me of a time last year and I had got the train to Liverpool Street.
- 10:28And I was trying to think about when I was doing my notes for this episode,
- 10:31I can't remember what had happened to me that day. But I had got the train to
- 10:36Liverpool Street and I can't remember where I was going.
- 10:39And I went into Pratt to get a coffee.
- 10:42And I remember feeling you know
- 10:45when you are I'd had something happen to me
- 10:48and I was in tears behind my sunglasses and
- 10:52I thought if anyone speaks to me I just
- 10:55ready to burst out crying it was one of those days and
- 10:57I can't remember the news that I'd had I remember feeling
- 11:01really really tearful and
- 11:05really low and I thought god even if someone's kind
- 11:08to me I feel like I might cry anyway I remember
- 11:11I went into coffee it went into Pret and I
- 11:14ordered a coffee and this lady it was
- 11:18actually like a weird I don't
- 11:20know maybe there was something in the air and she picked up my energy it felt
- 11:24like a bit of a weird thing connection with the universe but this lady um she
- 11:30kind of made some chat with me and she went wow can I just say she said your
- 11:36outfit is amazing She said, you look great.
- 11:40She said, oh, sorry. I just really, really had to say that. And I said, oh, my gosh.
- 11:44And, you know, bearing in mind, I am in tears behind my glasses.
- 11:47And I went, wow, thank you so much.
- 11:50And then I was like, look, how's your day? And we had a little chat.
- 11:53And it really shifted my energy.
- 11:57It really shifted my focus. Now, it doesn't mean that I was jumping around and
- 12:01go, wow, I'm so happy. It just was a moment of connection and kindness that
- 12:06I absolutely needed at that very moment.
- 12:10And she gave me my coffee and she went, there you go, my love.
- 12:14And she carried on to serve someone else. And I sat there, I was going to take the coffee away.
- 12:19And I sat there for a minute, just sorting my bag out. And I thought,
- 12:21I have an absolute urge that I have to tell her how she has made me feel today.
- 12:29I have to tell her how amazing she is or the...
- 12:32She's amazing or something and there was just a little moment where she'd sort
- 12:36of stepped away from the customer and I said oh excuse me sure is everything
- 12:39all right with your coffee and I said,
- 12:41actually it's going to make me emotional I don't know why I feel emotional saying this
- 12:44but I think it's triggering what I was feeling that day and I said yeah everything's
- 12:49fine with the coffee I said I'm really sorry to to interrupt you can I just
- 12:52say I'm feeling I've had a really really bad morning this morning and I said
- 12:58and you have been amazing and actually you've given me a reason to smile today.
- 13:04Honestly, I'm getting choked up talking about it.
- 13:06And she went, oh, oh my God. She kind of grabbed her heart and she went, wow.
- 13:13She went, thank you so much. She said, that is the nicest thing that anybody
- 13:18has ever said to me. She said, can I give you a hug?
- 13:21And I was like, yeah, you can imagine me behind my glasses in tears like, oh.
- 13:26And she came around, she gave me a hug and she went, thank you for being so
- 13:29kind. And I said, no, no, no.
- 13:30Thank you for being so kind and it was such
- 13:34a significant moment and
- 13:37it made me think like why are we
- 13:40not telling people why are we not telling people in that moment what we think
- 13:46if we're thinking something lovely if we think they look nice if we think they
- 13:50are being really strong in a situation that they're dealing with if you know
- 13:54someone has served you amazingly in a shop it take the time,
- 14:00take the time sometimes I say this to
- 14:02people and they feel a little bit embarrassed and they
- 14:05kind of look and they go I want to tell that waitress that they were really
- 14:07good but I'm best not to and I'm like there is nothing absolutely nothing and
- 14:12no reason to be embarrassed by absolutely not you have the power to change the
- 14:18world honestly in that moment like please do not shy away from it,
- 14:23and I think there is something so powerful and I'm going to get into this a
- 14:29little bit more in a minute but just while I'm on a roll is that.
- 14:33There is something about kindness that is so underrated because what happens
- 14:41is that if you offer that kindness to someone, and can I just say,
- 14:45this is like a genuine compliment.
- 14:47It doesn't mean that you go out today and go, right, I'm going to make up a
- 14:51compliment to my friend and say she looks really nice.
- 14:54No, this is not that. This is just being open and being present and noticing.
- 15:00And when you notice something nice, tell someone.
- 15:03Even your partner, this happens a lot, is that sometimes we look at our partner
- 15:08and we think, wow, they look really good looking today, or maybe their skin
- 15:11looks good, or that thing that they just said to me really made me feel amazing. Tell them.
- 15:17So often we just carry on with life, or you might be off the back of an argument,
- 15:22or whatever it is, just stop and say, thank you for doing that thing.
- 15:26That really, really made me smile that really made my
- 15:28day or you look really handsome today or you
- 15:32know whatever it is just stop and tell them so
- 15:35this thing with kindness it has this
- 15:38ripple effect and I
- 15:40actually think it's so powerful and magical that
- 15:45you can impact someone's day for the
- 15:48better they will carry that with them it's like
- 15:51you propel them on to a really positive frequency they might then you know offer
- 15:58that kindness and that energy to other people close to them and they in turn
- 16:03will offer energy to the next people and the next people so your one simple sentence is
- 16:09is changing the world because it's rippling out tenfold.
- 16:13So if you're with a friend and you think, God, they looked good today.
- 16:20Maybe their outfit looks amazing. Maybe their skin's glowing.
- 16:24Maybe they're going through absolute hell in a relationship.
- 16:27Maybe they're dealing with a breakup or with a colleague at work.
- 16:31Maybe just stop and tell her.
- 16:34Just say, you look really nice
- 16:37today you look really nice or even deeper
- 16:41like say look you seem so confident later
- 16:44lately you look so confident lately it's
- 16:47really inspiring and just watch her
- 16:50face watch how she carries herself for the
- 16:53rest of the day why would you not want to
- 16:55spread that love and to spread that positive energy and
- 16:59it's the same with social media that if you
- 17:03are scrolling on instagram and someone
- 17:06posts something that makes you stop in your
- 17:08tracks maybe it makes you feel motivated maybe it
- 17:11makes you feel seen or inspired sometimes
- 17:15like instead of just liking it or actually what
- 17:18a lot of people do is that they just carry on scrolling they might go oh that
- 17:21was really insightful and they carry on scrolling just
- 17:25stop maybe give it a little like and
- 17:28then tell them you don't realize the impact
- 17:32of your words stop tell them send a message
- 17:35maybe comment on their page or send them a private message and
- 17:38say hi look I just wanted to say that this really really helped me today thank
- 17:42you for posting this that person even if they have hundreds or even thousands
- 17:48of comments I guarantee you that kindness that love spreads in the exact same
- 17:54way as the examples that I was using earlier.
- 17:57And on that note, if you're not following me on social media, please do.
- 18:01I'm always trying to post free content. I want to make you feel inspired,
- 18:04maybe put a smile on your face.
- 18:06I'm at thehollyedwards on Instagram.
- 18:09And for all of you who have sent me messages, I quite often receive a DM or
- 18:15a comment saying, do you know what?
- 18:17This really made me feel something today, or I really needed this today.
- 18:21Thank you for posting it.
- 18:22And it has the same effect. There are sometimes, especially as a content creator,
- 18:27is that you can post and sometimes feel like, is anyone seeing it?
- 18:31Even if it's got thousands or
- 18:32like recently I've had a video that has had like over a million viewers.
- 18:37And sometimes you really think, has it made an impact?
- 18:40Did it, you know, did it stop someone in their tracks and did it touch someone?
- 18:45To actually hear that it has is honestly just, it touches me every single time.
- 18:51I never, never lose that excitement or that happiness or that kind of.
- 19:00Feeling of just yumminess if someone says thank
- 19:03you thank you for this this is this is what I
- 19:06needed and this ripple effect that
- 19:08I talk about this is where it's more powerful it's
- 19:12not just about igniting that spark or helping someone jump onto that positive
- 19:19frequency yes that is amazing in itself but here's where this becomes more than
- 19:25just a nice idea let's say let's say you compliment someone.
- 19:30They feel good. That feeling doesn't stop there.
- 19:33They go on with their day feeling lighter, happier, more confident. Then what happens?
- 19:40Maybe they smile at someone else. Maybe they're more patient in a queue.
- 19:45Maybe they send a kind message to someone or they compliment someone else.
- 19:50And suddenly, this is what I was talking about before,
- 19:53suddenly your one small moment has
- 19:56impacted another five people and you
- 20:00know what happens and then those five people impact
- 20:04five more people it's like
- 20:07an invisible web of magical kindness
- 20:10all starting from your one simple choice and
- 20:14that is you deciding to tell them that
- 20:18is how simple this theory is
- 20:21and there's something else in
- 20:24this too it changes you
- 20:28as well and here's the part that you
- 20:31might love the most this isn't just
- 20:34about the other people whilst we are offering this connection and this kindness
- 20:40in this moment to someone else and I do think that's so important But I do have
- 20:45to say that there is a side effect
- 20:46to this and the side effect is that you receive a positive change too.
- 20:53This changes you as well because...
- 20:58When you actively look for things to compliment, and this is why I was saying
- 21:03we're not giving fake compliments, we're not trying to think of something.
- 21:06This is asking you to open up your eyes and genuinely look and actively seek things to compliment.
- 21:15When you train your brain to notice the good, you naturally become more positive.
- 21:21This is what we talk about, isn't it? In the law of attraction,
- 21:24we talk about gratitude.
- 21:25The more gratitude we give, your brain, your energy kicks into gear.
- 21:30It will naturally look and seek and find more things to be grateful for.
- 21:36What we focus on grows and it multiplies. So where our focus goes, our energy flows.
- 21:43So when you are actively looking for things to complement, your brain starts
- 21:48to notice the good. You naturally become more positive.
- 21:52You become more present, more open-hearted. And it's like you rewire your mind
- 21:58to scan for the beauty instead of problems.
- 22:01Now, what does this do? We know that you, in the world of the law of attraction,
- 22:07you are like a magnet and whatever you are putting out into the world is what comes back to you.
- 22:12So if you are being more positive, more present, more open-hearted,
- 22:16more seeking the good in people, you attract back more of that goodness to yourself.
- 22:23You attract back more people who are full of goodness, more experiences that are full of goodness.
- 22:29And you are rewiring your mind to scan for beauty.
- 22:34And what happens is your mood will lift, your energy will shift and you become more magnetic.
- 22:42It is that simple. It's like you suddenly are walking around with this invisible glow around you.
- 22:50I always talk about with the law of attraction, you have to imagine that you
- 22:54are a big walking magnet.
- 22:58And I also think with this theory the
- 23:01tell them theory you create this
- 23:03invisible glow around you kind of within
- 23:06the magnetic field around you and what happens you suck and attract in all of
- 23:13this more kind of glowy beautiful connections and moments you become magnetic
- 23:20so there are practical ways that you can utilize this.
- 23:24And what I would love for you to do is to leave this episode and go off and
- 23:30put this tell them theory into practice.
- 23:34And let's make it super easy to implement, especially if perhaps this doesn't
- 23:39come naturally to you straight away.
- 23:41Perhaps you feel a little bit more shy and you feel embarrassed to say something to someone.
- 23:46Maybe you kind of feel reserved or you feel like they're going to feel like
- 23:50you're silly or that they're going to judge you or the person behind will judge
- 23:54you, or maybe you think that they'll go, oh, I've heard this before.
- 23:56This is really embarrassing.
- 23:58I guarantee you this can never fail.
- 24:02It just can't. And even if someone just goes, oh, thanks, and walks off and
- 24:06you think, oh, I don't know if they love that.
- 24:08I guarantee you it will still affect them in a positive way.
- 24:14But if you are struggling with that, maybe you are a little bit shyer.
- 24:17Maybe also there are times when if you're having a bad day or you're struggling,
- 24:22sometimes it's quite hard to...
- 24:25Seek that connection and to offer someone kindness not
- 24:28because you're not being kind but you kind of haven't got the the
- 24:31energy or that emotional energy to kind of
- 24:34say to someone look you look really great you look really
- 24:37great sometimes you just haven't got it in you but I really think it's important
- 24:40to dig deep if you can because it will help them it will help the people around
- 24:47them and it will help you in turn so what are some ways that you could start
- 24:52doing this today so And once you leave this podcast, once you leave this episode,
- 24:56maybe you could just text a friend out of nowhere.
- 24:59And I'm actually going to do this. I'm going to follow my own advice.
- 25:02That's what I like to do on the manifestation station. Follow my own advice.
- 25:06Maybe just text a friend out of nowhere.
- 25:09Just maybe just say, I'm just thinking of you like you're such a good person.
- 25:13Or say, you know, hi, you just popped into my head.
- 25:16Thanks for being a great friend. or hey you
- 25:19was thinking about you thanks for that bit
- 25:22of advice the other day or thanks for always
- 25:25having my back or I was just thinking about you and you made me smile something
- 25:30lovely something nice text a friend out of nowhere honestly we should tell the
- 25:36people around us that we love them if we do we should tell people around us
- 25:41that they're amazing if they've done something amazing,
- 25:43if they've made us feel a certain way, if they keep showing up for you and they
- 25:48back you, make sure you tell them.
- 25:51Maybe you could voice note someone you love and tell them why you appreciate them.
- 25:56And again, we're reverting back to perhaps even telling your partner.
- 26:00Maybe, you know, sometimes we're living and your partner's grafting to help
- 26:05pay the mortgage. Maybe you keep the home lovely or maybe it's the other way around.
- 26:09Whatever it is you do, maybe one of you is cooking the dinner all the time.
- 26:12Just stop and say, hey, thank you for being such a great provider.
- 26:16I really, really appreciate it. It's one of the things I love about you.
- 26:19Or hey you look really great in that outfit today or maybe voice note someone
- 26:25you love and tell them why you appreciate them.
- 26:28Maybe a friend, a sibling, a parent, an auntie, whoever it is just say look
- 26:35hey I was just thinking about you I don't know if I've told you this recently
- 26:39but I love you and this is the reason why.
- 26:42How lovely and I don't think this happens enough.
- 26:47The other thing you could do is maybe leave a genuine
- 26:50comment on someone's post instead of just liking and
- 26:53scrolling I guarantee you it will mean the
- 26:56world to someone and if there's a post
- 26:59that you enjoy or maybe someone looks really great
- 27:02in a post just go wow you know you're looking amazing
- 27:05or this content has really inspired me
- 27:08thank you for posting just to give that boost to
- 27:11someone maybe you could compliment a
- 27:14stranger and yes I do mean
- 27:17a stranger sometimes it's even better and just say look I love your outfit or
- 27:22I love the color of your hair or I love your shoes or you know that service
- 27:28you've given me like you've been amazing today thank you so much or you know
- 27:32I love your smile whatever that may be.
- 27:35Maybe thank someone properly instead of just saying thanks quickly.
- 27:39Like give a really meaningful thanks to someone. So if you have had really good
- 27:44service in a restaurant, just say, hey, I just want you to know like you've been so attentive.
- 27:49Thank you so much for looking after us today.
- 27:52What a lovely moment to just give something a little bit deeper than just a thank you.
- 27:57And I've said this one, I've said this one already, but it's still on my list.
- 28:00So tell your partner something you admire about them that you don't say enough.
- 28:05So what is something that your partner may regularly do, but maybe sometimes
- 28:09we don't stop, say it out loud, or maybe give them enough credit for,
- 28:14like I said, thank you for providing for us.
- 28:15Or sometimes it's even like, hey, look, thanks for paying the bills every month.
- 28:21If you have got someone who helps with the bills or, you know,
- 28:25thank you for putting fuel in my car or thank you for cooking me an amazing
- 28:29dinner tonight. I really appreciate it.
- 28:31Thank you for putting a load of washing on. That means the world to me.
- 28:35Whatever it is that your partner has done, maybe something you admire and just tell them.
- 28:42So here is a little challenge for you guys. I want to set you a little challenge
- 28:47so you can kind of put this into practice.
- 28:50I would love to hear how you get on with it.
- 28:53You've got my Instagram by now. You can DM me. I'm also, so I'm at thehollyedwards
- 28:57and I'm also at the manifestation station.
- 29:00So for the next 24 hours, act on every kind thought you have.
- 29:06That's it. That's all you have to do. There's no filtering.
- 29:09There's no holding back. There's no getting shy and not delivering.
- 29:13If you think it, I want you to say it.
- 29:16And just take notice how people respond, how you feel afterwards and what shifts in your energy.
- 29:26That's your only task. so no holding back if you think it and it's a kind thought
- 29:31say it that's it tell them,
- 29:34tell them theory because I promise you something will shift.
- 29:38Something will shift inside of you and you won't regret it.
- 29:42And, you know, there are times we do hold back. You know, let's also talk about
- 29:47why we don't do this all the time.
- 29:49Sometimes we think, oh, maybe they already know that thing.
- 29:52You know, I remember I was in Manchester with my partner and we had this lovely meal and this girl,
- 29:58this waitress who was serving us
- 30:00she was so stunning that I
- 30:03could not stop looking at her and she was
- 30:06the spitting image of Ariana Grande and I kept looking at her thinking I should
- 30:11really tell her that I should really and then I kept getting embarrassed I'm
- 30:14like why tell them and I said I'm so sorry I said I bet you get this all the
- 30:18time but you really look like Ariana Grande and she laughed and she went thank
- 30:22you I do get that all the time and I thought wow can you imagine if you got told.
- 30:26You look like Ariana Grande all the time. But she went, but thank you.
- 30:31That is really sweet. That's a real honor.
- 30:33And she walked away and she still smiled, even though she gets told it all the time.
- 30:37So other reasons we might hold back, we might feel awkward.
- 30:40What if they think I'm weird? If you're like, hey, you've got a really nice
- 30:43smile. Are they going to think we're coming on to them?
- 30:46No. Who cares what anyone thinks? That goes into the let them theory.
- 30:50If they really did think it was weird just let
- 30:53them doesn't matter you're the powerful one that you're the
- 30:56one that's in control you're the one that's confident tell them
- 30:59i guarantee you they won't feel like that that's what i would say here is the
- 31:04truth no one absolutely no one ever gets tired of hearing something kind about
- 31:10themselves that is the truth that is the statement of the year no one ever gets
- 31:14tired of hearing something kind about themselves ever Yeah.
- 31:19And if it feels awkward, if it feels awkward, kind of just going,
- 31:22oh, excuse me, I want to tell you something.
- 31:24It lasts two seconds and that awkwardness is gone. And actually,
- 31:28as well as feeling an energy shift, you will feel quite empowered,
- 31:32especially if you've got over a little bit of awkwardness.
- 31:35The feeling you give them, that, that, that, that, that, that,
- 31:40oh my God, the result of that, the impact of that is huge.
- 31:44And that can last all day long.
- 31:47And this is about you becoming a beacon
- 31:51of happiness because if you became known as
- 31:54that person the one who lifts people
- 31:57up the one who makes people feel good the
- 32:00one who notices the good the one who makes
- 32:03people feel seen be the
- 32:06light in the world that's why I always say to people be the light imagine that
- 32:10person that always makes you feel good maybe they compliment you or they are
- 32:16present and they are looking at you and they are calling out compliments and
- 32:20they make you feel good. Those are the people that you want to be around.
- 32:23Because in a world where people are quick to criticize, compare or stay silent,
- 32:30especially on social media, you have chosen to shine.
- 32:35You choose to be the beacon of light. And honestly, that is powerful energy to carry around.
- 32:43So to summarize the tell them theory, it's not complicated.
- 32:49It doesn't require more time, more money or more effort.
- 32:55It just simply requires intention. That is it. It's as simple as that.
- 33:00It's awareness, a little bit of courage, but the impact is huge.
- 33:06Kindness spreads like wildfire energy spreads
- 33:10it's like magic honestly and you never know how
- 33:14far your words will travel you'll never
- 33:17actually you will never find that out how you
- 33:20have impacted that person for the rest of the day maybe the
- 33:23following day and the people around them you'll never know how far your words
- 33:28will go so today and every day if you think something kind please tell them
- 33:36because your words might be the light that someone didn't know they needed.
- 33:42So thank you so much for listening today. I feel quite inspired and uplifted
- 33:46talking about the tell them theory actually.
- 33:49So I hope you do too and if
- 33:52you have enjoyed this episode please share it with a friend and if you get a
- 33:55chance to just give it some stars on Apple and if you get a chance to write
- 34:00a review you will be doing your little bit of kindness today and you will make
- 34:04me smile so thank you so much and thank you so much for all of those who have
- 34:07rated, reviewed and subscribed.
