April 01 … Sensing the Humorous

Go through your belongings (or go to thrift stores) and find three (3) items that relate to three (3) of your friends in a funny way.  Wrap these “gag gifts” nicely (including a note of explanation if necessary), and personally give them away this evening.

April 02 … Keeping it Here&Now

Avoid using either the past tense or the future tense in all your communications today.  If someone asks you about yesterday (or anything else in your past), simply state, “I’ve already let that go” or “I don’t exactly remember” or “I’m focusing on the present moment today”.  Conversely, if someone asks you about tomorrow (or […]

April 03 … Returning to Joy

On the way to work or school this morning, scout your town for the “coolest” playground you can find.  Then, later this afternoon, go to that playground and have fun there for one hour.  Return again this evening with at least one Friend or family member and have some fun again. Bonus Activity:  Have the […]

April 04 … Co-creating real Wealth

Today is a day to sustain yourself using no money whatsoever (take nothing edible from home to eat either).  It is OK to take a sack full of useful items and foodstuffs (e.g. pens, apples, granola bars, brownies, water bottles, etc.) to use as means to barter for your lunch and dinner (&/or whatever else […]

April 05 … Constructing a Sanctuary

Take a few moments this morning and draw the plans for your one-room personal Sanctuary.  Let it contain all the things you would want to have in it to be completely at Peace … During the day, every hour, pause to envision how it would look and feel; how it would “re-charge your batteries” just […]

April 06 … Preening Politeness

Many of us have been taught that it is “kind” to be either dishonest or superficial to others, to avoid “hurting their feelings” by telling white lies, by being tactful, by being polite etc … Of course, nothing could be further from the Truth.  Not only are such acts completely transparent – leading to far […]

April 07 … Cheering up Children

Buy or obtain colorful stickers this morning and distribute them Joy-fully to all the children (and a few of the adults) you encounter today.

April 08 … Waking UP the Media

Visit three (3) local newspapers &/or radio stations and ask why they don’t report more “positive news.”  Let them know that, even though fear is currently media’s best seller, many people are ready to be positively inspired by the nightly news, as opposed to being frightened or saddened by the same. Bonus Activity:  Write and […]

April 09 … Decreasing Duality

We have all grown up learning to judge between what is “good” (i.e. what brings us “safety” or pleasure) and what is “bad” (i.e. what brings us “danger” or pain).  In fact, this distinction is so primal that it influences every analysis, every opinion, and every belief we formulate in our minds.  Of course, while […]

April 10 … Feeding your Community

Buy (or hand pick) a large portion of fresh produce and divide it into three (3) portions.  Give one portion to a friend, one to a rarely seen neighbor, and one to a total stranger.  To make this activity more fun, include some unusual veggies in the packages.  To make it more powerful, let the […]

April 11 … Seeing Clearly

Take the time to thoroughly clean all the windows in your house today.  After you’re finished, pause and really Look through them anew, noticing things you have never noticed before.
