During the day today, gather bundles of wildflowers … This evening, after it gets dark, place them all around your neighborhood – on doorsteps, on windowsills, in newspapers, on car windshields, etc. Remember to place a few on your own property as well. Thereafter, for the next few days anonymously enJoy your neighborhood’s reactions thereto.
This morning, go for a walk and look for 5+ special stones (They needn’t be large – mossy ones that look like mountains are the best). Then, this afternoon go and buy or acquire one big bag of sand (the whiter the better). Finally, this evening, in “special corner” of one of your neighbors’ yards […]
Today, travel to a nearby town to which you’ve never been before & look around. Ask some residents there about the greatest difficulty facing their community. Then, before departing, anonymously do something about it for them. Bonus Activity: Research a city outside the U.S. that has a “crisis” that touches your Heart. Do something today […]
Offer to buy a homeless person lunch today, continuing to offer until someone accepts. Bonus Activity: Buy lunch for yourself as well and eat it alongside them.
Today, choose to eliminate negativities in your speech, replacing any references to anything “bad” or “terrible” or “disappointing” things with the words “interesting” or “unideal” or “challenging” … And if you happen to let a negativity slip out, no problem. Simply repeat the sentence and replace your negativity with either a neutral word or a […]
At least once per hour today, act “inappropriately” (e.g. hum in a library until “shushed”, dance smoothly around the inside of a church, skip through a cemetery, speak gregariously with total strangers, pray in public with a smile on your lips and your eyes wide open, greet strangers warmly with a hug, etc) … Remember […]
Make today a day of smiles — smile when meeting others, smile when making eye-contact with strangers, smile when answering the phone, smile when talking with associates, and even smile when you’re just “standing around.” The average toddler laughs &/or smiles over 400 times a day — attempt to exceed this number today (that’s one […]
This morning, learn one good, clean joke that you find rather humorous. Then, write it down on a piece of paper. Go forth today and ride elevators for 30 minutes at a time (at least 3 different times in 3 different elevators), telling your joke to the folks who ride along with you, staring at […]
This morning, take a few moments and list your three (3) primary duties to society. Write them down on a sheet of paper … Then, next to each one, note that you are now completely free from these self- & society-imposed obligations. Finally, set out to willingly fulfill each of them (in some way that […]
Whenever you set out to walk anywhere today, commence your walking with the “Heart Walk.” To do so, simply pause before setting forth, place both hands over your heart, feel your heart-beat for a few seconds, and then gently “fall” into it by leaning forward as you set out. Let your feet automatically move forward […]
Sometime this morning, buy several dozen multi-colored ribbon dancers, garden spinners, pinwheels, &/or kites (no balloons please). Next, take a sharpie and write inspirational words on them (e.g. “Love”, “Joy”, “Wonder”, “Happiness”, “Peace”, etc). Feel free to decorate them as well (glue & glitter work great) … Finally, during the day give them all to […]
