Go for a one-hour walk today — backwards (and remember to smile while doing so) …
“Disappear” for the day … Let loved ones know that you’re doing so (though do not tell them, or anyone else, where you’re going) and head somewhere you’ve never been before while keeping your name and personal history completely to yourself.

Hitchhike to a destination more than one mile (& less than 5 miles) away (do so with a friend “if necessary”) … Be Kind to others along the way – both those who give you rides and those who pass your by, and then hitchhike home again. Note: remember to take along small gifts to […]

Now openly release yourself from each of them by writing “I am still Free” next to each … Finally, and most importantly, find a way today to voluntarily and actively […]
Today is the day for you to purposefully fall down or slip in public … Do so at three (3) different times, in three (3) different places, and in three (3) different ways. Try to do so nearby someone who seems a bit “down in the dumps”, and remember to laugh with yourself after each […]
