This morning, make eight (8) low-cost “lunch bags” (containing a vegan sandwich, a granola bar, some soy yogurt, a piece of fruit, a bottle of water & an uplifting cartoon &/or quote in a card). Thereafter, distribute these “Blessing Bags” to the first eight (8) homeless people you encounter, remembering to look them in the […]
Today, leave work at least two (2) hours early to handle “an important personal matter.” Upon departing, spend the first half of the work-time missed alone in a park, museum, or church – someplace where peace and reflection come easy to you. Afterwards, spend the rest of your “bonus time” by (either anonymously or directly) […]
All day today, whenever you purchase anything, be it lunch or a newspaper or a cup of coffee, buy a second one and give the “extra” to a stranger.
Today is a day for “enlightened” conversation. Unusual queries stimulate the person asked to ponder their lives anew; to re-enter the Here&Now & re-assess Who they truly Are … With this in mind, replace all your typical verbal banalities with meaning-full questions &/or statements. Instead of the typical (& these days meaningless) “How are you […]
Spend the day opening doors for others (with a smile). Essentially, refuse to pass through any door without first opening it for another person.
Though we’d like to believe otherwise, the news heard on our radios, seen on our TV’s, and read in our newspapers is always negatively slanted & rarely provides us with an accurate view of our immediate community or our world in general. Indeed, for every “tragedy” witnessed in the mass media, there are literally thousands […]
Your mission today starts with buying or making the nicest gift you can afford. Thereafter, think of the one person who is causing you the most pain in your life (or is annoying you the most, or who simply dislikes you the most) and write out a note saying that the item is to be […]
List the three (3) ways that you would “improve” yourself if you could; writing them down on a small piece of paper as you think of them. Thereafter, set that piece of paper on fire and set out to “flaunt your flaws” today (Respect-fully, of course, without causing yours self or others any direct harm […]
Practice stealth today, going the whole day being seen and heard as little and as rarely as possible … To that end, at least three (3) times today do something outrageously nice without anyone else witnessing you doing so.
Sometime this morning, procure several different varieties of fresh fruit & a jar of agave nectar or molasses, then – at some point later in the day – take a sharp knife and head to a public park or square. Using the fruit as “building blocks” and the nectar/molasses as “glue”, make a sculpture of […]
Just for today, release a large portion of your fear by leaving all the doorways in your life unlocked (e.g. to car, to home, to safe, to windows – and to your Heart) … Bonus Activity: Leave some of your “valuables” out in the open while doing so. If they are still there upon returning, […]
