Day 17. Make them laugh
Email or text your person a joke or funny video—something that is THEIR type of humor—with a note.
Coach's Corner: Is it easier today, than earlier in the Challenge, to figure out something that would be interesting to your person? That's because you're "learning" them. In fact, a sort of X-ray vision—the ability to see inside someone's mind and heart in a new way—is one of eight of the superpowers of kindness. If figuring them out isn't yet easier, use this as a prompt to get more serious about studying your person. The research found that in most cases, doing so becomes second nature and yields a host of benefits for the relationship.
"The act of forcing themselves not to be negative, to find and say praiseworthy things, and to be generous each day had an unexpected side effect: they suddenly were attuned to the other person's point of view. Without really intending to, they found that they were putting themselves in the other person's shoes." —The Kindness Challenge
The 30-Day Kindness Challenge is brought to you via our partnership with Shaunti Feldhahn, and is based on her research for The Kindness Challenge.
