How To Be An Attractive Magnet
The kindness magnet
This morning, I overslept. I had a particularly bad case of overthinking last night.
So, my day started with me being slightly annoyed with myself.
Then because of my gratitude and affirmation heavy morning routine, my fabulous mood was back.
When I got down in the building reception, I realise it was free breakfast day.
How could I have overslept on free breakfast day? My inner critic was going to make a comeback until I approached the brownie counter, and someone spoke to me.
He was clad in black, tall and lanky with a head of blonde hair that would do well in a man’s shampoo ad.
‘Lucky you got the last one’, he says.
Suddenly my inner voice disappeared, and my real voice took over. ‘I guess I am’, I reply.
Then silence. I wait for my turn while I watch him make his coffee.
He speaks again: ‘You will need help with the coffee’. He acted as if he was going to operate heavy machinery. I accept the kindness.
He presses the button, serves me a cup of coffee and wishes me a nice day ahead.
