00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio. Good Morning,

2
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's

3
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: tip is that when something reminds you of someone in

4
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: your life, let them know. You will both enjoy the

5
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: sense of connection and the shared memory. Several times a

6
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:36,279
Speaker 1: week or more, I am guessing something reminds you of

7
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: someone in your life in a happy way. You hear

8
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: a song on the radio that makes you think of

9
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: dancing to it with your best friends. In college, an

10
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: underdog team wins big and you think of a friend

11
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: who roots for that team through winning and losing seasons.

12
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: You read an article on a topic you discussed with

13
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: your work best friend a few days ago, and the

14
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: expert on the topic reached the same conclusion that you

15
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: both did.

16
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 2: How prescient. Whenever something like this happens and you surface

17
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,199
Speaker 2: a happy memory of someone, don't let the moment pass

18
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 2: you by. Stop and share the moment with the person

19
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 2: you think of so they can feel that same happiness too.

20
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 2: It is so simple and quick to send a text

21
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: message or a direct message to someone. Perhaps in the

22
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: old days when you made that original memory, you would

23
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: have had to call or write a letter to someone,

24
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 2: but those days are long gone. Now you can reach

25
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: out instantly in a way that doesn't need to monopolize

26
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 2: someone's attention. It makes it that much easier to let

27
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: people know that you were thinking about them, So do it.

28
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: Sometimes the person you reach out to may write or

29
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 2: call to reminisce about related memories or offer some updates

30
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 2: on their lives, and that's awesome. Other times you might

31
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 2: just get a haha tap back and you all move on.

32
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 2: But it really doesn't matter. There are very few ways

33
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 2: to spread kindness in the world that are basically free

34
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 2: and take ten seconds. Who doesn't want to know that

35
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 2: someone in this world was thinking of them. I know

36
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 2: I'd like that. I am guessing you would too, and

37
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: you can give that gift to another person. So that

38
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: is a very good reason to put forth what amounts

39
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 2: to just a tiny extra effort. In the meantime, This

40
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: is Laura. Thanks for listening, and here's to making the
