Benefits of habit “Help someone”

✓ More opportunities will come your way
✓ Increases self-esteem
✓ Develops new relationships
✓ Maintains current relationships

First step:

Help 1 person today

Progress:

1. Today, think of a person you can help in anything and do so. Do this once this week.
2. Next week, think of another two people to help and do so.
3. Keep it up until you help someone every day.

Helpful tips to make it a habit:

✓ Trigger your mind. Have a sticky note somewhere visible that reminds you it’s time to deliver daily help.
✓ Let the app help. The reminder function in this app can ring you when it’s time to aid someone. You may also track your daily help progress with the calendar function, marking days you missed to check on someone to help them.
✓ Reward yourself. Once you’ve gone a month of aiding people, take your friends or newly found friendly during your helping mission to dinner and enjoy yourselves. Nothing like seeing the gratitude of people around you directly.
✓ Celebrate small victories. Every time you perform this habit, congratulate yourself! Say “I’m awesome” or “I’m so cool” out loud and with a smile on your face.

Tips for beginners:

✓ Broach the subject carefully. Instead of directly asking your friends or family if you could help with something, try listening to them. It is likely they will share their woes regardless and will be even more thankful when you volunteer to help.
✓ Help online. Simply answering a question on a forum or on Quora can mean a lot to a person and help them immensely. Try doing that as well.
✓ Don’t overdo it. Sometimes, however well-intentioned, help can be unwanted. Try to make sure your help will not do more harm before you do it.
