Go on a 30 minute+ “gloam-roam” this evening just after sunset, paying attention to how different the world looks and feels when the light rests gently between day and night … Share your impressions with at least one friend or family member before going to bed. Bonus Activity: Set your alarm and awaken to another […]
Plant flowers in a local park or field (transplanting them from another, “under-appreciated” location is OK). Be sure to pick up any trash around the newly spruced area after you’re done.
Go the entire day using as few adjectives as possible (ideally none at all). If you do happen to use one, pause and re-view the thing, the person, or the situation you labeled and remove that descriptive judgment (even if it is “positive” or “accurate”). See the items, beings, or places anew and accept them […]
Jaywalk creatively, blatantly, and Care-fully three (3) times today.
Plant a tree(s) in a local park or field. If you don’t have the means to acquire a tree, go into a local forest and transplant several saplings … When you’re done, take a few moments and envision what that section of the park or field will look like in fifty years — when your […]
Honor can only exist when it is given voluntarily. Love and Kindness for others cannot be powerful when we are acting out of a sense of obligation. With this in mind, take a few moments this morning and write down all the vows you have taken in your life (e.g. marriage vows, promises made to […]
This morning, contact everyone on yesterday’s “vow-list” and verbally re-affirm your Love for them (not your commitment to them). Then, choose to go forth and act accordingly today, by doing something anonymously Kind for three (3) of them.
Today is a day for hearing everything “naively.” Assume that everyone you meet ultimately has good motives (whether they actually do or not is irrelevant), and that everything you hear from them is completely True. Thereafter, act accordingly — and radically — at least three (3) times today (e.g. answer all rhetorical questions as though […]
Three (3) times today, head out on walks with the intention of being kind to – &/or “saving” – any wildlife you happen to encounter along the way (e.g. help turtles cross the road, move earthworms from the sidewalk back to the earth, refuse to kill mosquitoes, gently compliment all barking dogs for being so […]
Today is a day for focusing on your attitude … The ego is primarily fixated on ensuring your survival, and it primarily does so by having you focus on the “dangers” and/or the “undesirables” in your environment, that you might then avoid the former or repair the latter. These subconsciously generated distinctions are constant and […]
Find a favorite short story or long poem (if you don’t have one yet, go to the library or go on-line and find one). Take your selection this morning to a public location and read it aloud – slowly and with feeling (train stations are good for this one) … Thereafter, during the day, replace […]
