There are some people who have the ability to make others happier and healthier. They spread laughter, joy, peace, and a sense of positivity everywhere they go. These are the people that you try to hang out with and surround yourself with because your day actually becomes brighter and better with them in it!
Chances are that you would like to be that type of person. Spreading happiness is much better than spreading negativity. It draws more people to you on a personal and business level. It creates happy and long-lasting relationships. It also allows you to go further in life because there are more people around you wiling to help out and give you a boost.
Plus, making others feel good makes you feel good as well, and it allows you to become happier in your life on a constant basis. So how do they do it?
5 Qualities That Health Promoting People Have
They Don’t Hold Others Back in Life But Instead Encourage Them to succeed
You know the co-worker who does everything in their power from helping you find out how to do something correctly? That is not a health promoting person!
A person who wants you to succeed in life, and helps you do so, is someone who is trying to create a better life for you and everyone else around them. There are many examples of this kind of person – the first people that come to my mind are Deepak Chopra, Tony Robbins, and Joe Vitale. Of course those are just 3 of the last people whose books I’ve read. There are many people out there like them, and if you take a page from their book you will find that you will start to become like them as well.
It feels good to enrich people’s lives, and it doesn’t take anything away from your own life. In fact, it only makes you life better!
They See The Good Qualities in Others
So many people out there are quick to find your faults. They point the finger at you and tell you how you should be doing things. They make you feel worse about yourself and can provoke low self-confidence and unhappiness. These are not health promoting people!
Someone who see’s the good qualities in you, and is quick to point those out to you, is someone who is concerned about you and your happiness. This is true in all situations, but it is especially true when pointing out your good qualities could affect their success.
If you think that by pointing out someone else’s good qualities you will hurt yourself and your life, then read the following story.
My husband used to have a boss that just didn’t know as much as he did. He couldn’t keep up with what my husband was talking about when it came to accounting. But do you think he gave my husband credit for that? Nope. Instead he pointed out my husband’s random mistakes and tried to focus on those to bring him down. I guess he thought it would keep my husband from getting his job, but eventually my husbands boss ended up losing his job anywase, while my husband went on to bigger and better things. If he would have just admitted my husband knew what he was talking about and learned from him, then he would have gone on to better and bigger things himself.
They Do Not Have Anything to Prove To You
There are a lot of people who feel that they have to be someone special or important in order to make a good impression on you so they act fake, unkind, or egotistic when they are around you. That is not a sign of a health promoting person!
People who are good for your health do not have anything that they need to prove to you. They do not need to constantly reassure you that they know what they are doing, they do not need to talk about how they also are excellent at something you are good at, and they don’t interrupt you with their own successes when you talk about yourself. They are comfortable with themselves and know their own worth, and they don’t need to bring down yours to make themselves feel better.
They Listen to You and Offer You Real Solutions
Ever talk to someone and feel like you are talking to a brick wall? Or maybe you felt like they were just waiting for you to finish so they could offer you some intelligent advice of their own from their own experiences. These are not health promoting people!
People who care about you, and want the best for you, will really listen and make sure that they understand what you are saying. Then they will offer you advice and potential solutions to make you come out of the conversation headed towards a better you!
They Make YOU Feel Important
There are some people who can make you feel insignificant in life. They can be anyone from a family member, a “˜friend’, a co-worker, a boss, or even just a random stranger. Some people have the power to make you feel like you are less of a person than you really are! These are not health promoting people!
The people who really listen to you, acknowledge you, show interest in you, and express their gratitude and awareness of your uniqueness are the people who really care about your well-being and happiness.
These health and happiness producing people want you to know that you are someone special in this world, and they can see that it’s true. These are the people have no problem pointing out why you make a difference in this world.
So if you want to be a person who makes a positive impact in other people’s lives then start becoming the person who envelops the above 5 traits. Not only will you help others succeed and be happy in their lives, but your life will be enriched in great ways as well.
