Done
Did this on the way to work and said “Good Morning” to many, many people , even some people on the Tube in front of everyone.
First few were hard but became easier and easier. Goes to show learning really comes when you stretch yourself.
Was interesting, very simple to do but hard to keep at it all the way to work and not start “well I’ve done X number of people so I can stop now”.
Doing this in London where people are often keen to not make eye contact or speak at the best of times – being early in the morning added an edge to it.
I had to really make sure to speak clearly, confidently and with lots of positive energy (why else would I be saying “Good Morning” to people unless I was having an amazing day?), learned this after the first few tries where people just blanked me.
Lots of people ignored or just looked confused, some people smiled and replied back.
Was great, I feel good and learnt a lot about how to approach from doing this – namely
Approach with confidence
Speak Clearly
Be positive.
(I knew all this already, but internalising this knowledge was very good)
