June 12 … Quenching Road-Rage
Make a large jug of lemonade, put it in a cooler with a bag of ice & some cups, and head out at rush hour this morning to give away some cool refreshment during traffic jams … Do the same at rush hour this afternoon.
June 13 … Getting deeply CLEAN
Today is a day to cleanse your “Temple” … Cut your fingernails & toenails. Shave carefully. Sit in a sunbeam for 15 minutes. Pause every hour to drink a tea or glass of spring water and go outside (or open a window) to breathe in fresh air. Eat only raw fruits or raw vegetables all […]
June 14 … SELF-Identification
Note the “top 5 faults” of others in your life (whether they are all exhibited by one person or 5 separate people makes no difference). Next note the “top 5 Virtues” you see in others as well. Write all ten (10) of these traits down on a piece of paper, starting with the words “You […]
June 15 … Expanding your Vision
Our brains receive and process thousands of bits of information every second – information related to an almost infinite amount of stimuli. Through this enormous mass of data, our neocortex sorts through them all and chooses one or two per second upon which to focus. It is these very few bits of information that we […]
June 16 … Easing Olfactory Dis-ease
Obtain lots of incense (preferably a scent that you personally find to be pleasant) and take it to your nearest garbage dump, recycling center, &/or waste management plant. Light it all & place it around that site(s) … If one of these 3 sites isn’t available, take your incense and place it in public dumpsters […]
June 17 … A most righteous Repentance
Regardless of your religious beliefs (or even complete lack thereof), head to a local church and confess to a priest today … In some cities, I’ve noticed that many churches are locked during the week. If this is the case for you today, most have “hot-lines” in the phone book where a priest can be […]
June 18 … fast & friendly Service
Enter a local restaurant that serves relatively healthy food, order the least expensive item on the menu for yourself (you don’t have to eat it if it’s not healthy or to your liking), and then treat the next three people in line to the tastiest cruelty-free (i.e. vegan) option on the entire menu. […]
June 19 … crossing to the Other Side
Make a “Gift Basket” today, being both creative and Caring, including some note related to the priceless worth of unconditional Kindness … Now take your basket and give it to the pastor of a “rival Faith” — if you’re an atheist, take it to a Baptist reverend. If you’re Jewish, take it to an evangelical […]
June 20 … preaching Posi-Gossip
Ask friends and co-workers to share with you the last time they did something nice for another person, place, or being. Then, take your favorite story heard and spread it around as “positive gossip” all day (“Guess what I heard …”)
June 21 … The Gift of Wisdom
Take a copy of your favorite book(s) to work/school today. Throughout the day, write uplifting comments in the margins of the same (using a quote book to help if necessary, though little stories related to your personal deeds of Kindness are more powerful). At the end of the day, take your tome(s) and donate it […]
June 22 … Cleansing the Castle
Cleanse your “Sanctuary” (i.e. your home) today and be thorough when you do so. Avoid seeing this activity as a “chore” (or as a series of chores). Instead, choose to see it as an honor – as a privilege. Hint: start with the corners that you don’t normally get to when cleaning up your usual […]
