Spreading Your Light

How You Affect Others Daily

by Madisyn Taylor

We have the potential to affect others through all of our actions during our day whether we are aware of it or not.

As the pace and fullness of modern life serve to isolate us from one another, the contact we do share becomes vastly more significant. We unconsciously absorb each other’s energy, adopting the temperament of those with whom we share close quarters, and find ourselves changed after the briefest encounters. Everything we do or say has the potential to affect not only the individuals we live, work, and play with but also those we’ve just met. Though we may never know the impact we have had or the scope of our influence, accepting and understanding that our attitudes and choices will affect others can help us remember to conduct ourselves with grace at all times. When we seek always to be friendly, helpful, and responsive, we effortlessly create an atmosphere around ourselves that is both uplifting and inspiring.

Most people rarely give thought to the effect they have had or will have on others. When we take a few moments to contemplate how our individual modes of being affect the people we spend time with each day, we come one step closer to seeing ourselves through the eyes of others. By asking ourselves whether those we encounter walk away feeling appreciated, respected, and liked, we can heighten our awareness of the effect we ultimately have. Something as simple as a smile given freely can temporarily brighten a person’s entire world. Our value-driven conduct may inspire others to consider whether their own lives are reflective of their values. A word of advice can help others see life in an entirely new fashion. And small gestures of kindness can even prove to those embittered by the world that goodness still exists. By simply being ourselves, we influence other’s lives in both subtle and life-altering ways.

To ensure that the effect we have is positive, we must strive to stay true to ourselves while realizing that it is the demeanor we project and not the quality of our wondrous inner landscapes that people see. Thus, as we interact with others, how we behave can be as important as who we are. If we project our passion for life, our warmth, and our tolerance in our facial features, voice, and choice of words, every person who enters our circle of influence will leave our presence feeling at peace with themselves and with us. You never know whose life you are affecting, big or small. Try to remember this as you go out into the world each day.

But is there something else that we can do to make sure that this family meal brings peace and happiness into our lives? My Magically Delicious pantheon says we can eat foods that have traditionally been believed to bring blessings of happiness and peace while also cooking up a heapin’ helping of personal power and positive energies. Create your future today by taking control of the kitchen and adding the following foods to your diet. From the spice rack adding small amounts of cumin, marigold, marjoram, oregano, rose or saffron will produces delicious delights charged with the energies of happiness and joy. Treats from the garden such as cucumber, lettuce and olives will do the same. Fruits like apples, apricots, peaches, persimmons and raspberries will put a smile on your face, as will chocolate, wine and honey. To prepare peaceful foods stuffed with happy energies be sure to burn a white or light blue candle in the kitchen while you cook and always cut fruits and veggies into round shapes to stimulate a peace-pervasive atmosphere. Bon appetit!
