How to become a heart-warming person might sound ambiguous; however, it seems there are some ways to keep our heart warm, warm enough to share it with the others. A person who treats the others well instead of distrusting them, contributes themselves to the whole community or quietly accepts people who creates confusion.

There are some people who do these things, but on purpose or for their reputation. It is not reprehensible behaviours at all; however, becoming a heart-warming person is the stage prior to the action phase, and it has to be distinguished here to illustrate the concept. A heart-warming person reasons for their good deed based on their inner feeling such as self-satisfaction, affection or compassion. A person who cares about their reputation reasons for their good deed based on the judgement on them.

One of daily practices to become a heart-warming person could be getting a habit to treat things well, so the vibe connects to the way to treat the other people well. For instance, handling dishes and cups with care, helping people, stop throwing away food, bringing some used plastic bags or batteries to the recycling,,. Keep practicing these feelings of appreciation and gratitude in everyday life is the one way to keep our heart warm. This is my finding about heart-warming people I met in my life.

Many of moral approaches for a recycling and a food waste issue have been seen last decades. It has to be told and emphasized that these actions are not just for the environment but also can be for ourselves. For our lovely, elegant vibes and self-satisfaction, in other words, to feel the warmth in our heart by ourselves, even when we don’t have any observers.

The intention to become a heart-warming person would also prevent us from becoming a displeasing person for socializing and relationships. For example, we would sometimes prioritize ourselves to the others and don’t treat them well enough. It might start off with a little misunderstanding about someone’s action, and eventually become a bigger issue or start seeing the only negative side of the person. Then, we stop treating the person well or we would not feel that we are treated well by the person. In these cases, the daily practice would work better than a direct confrontation or a discussion. Just keep practicing appreciating and being thankful to totally different things until we get back the warmth in our heart. Then, the problem might look different or find that a solution emerges.

I am not a heart-warming person for 100% but I would like to learn to be so, because I myself will be always the first and last person to take care of me and I know that I need to be around the others. It would be beneficial to know what makes my heart warm, warm enough to share it with the others.
