Make eye-contact

A few days after I moved where I live now, I took a walk. A man passed me, looked at me and said kindly,  “Good morning!” I thought,  ‘Wow people here are really friendly, what a nice neighborhood to live in!’ This is what I think about every time I walk past someone. I realize that my looking at them and friendly hello will have a positive effect. Eye contact makes someone feel like he or she is being ‘seen’. So next time make eye contact with a passer-by, even better when you couple it with  a pronounced ‘have a good day’. Much more fun than that impersonal tunnel view right ahead!
