Day 27: Staying in the moment
Today, in the very next interaction you have with your husband, what is the kindest thing you could do for him? When he calls to tell you he'll be late for dinner, is it to speak in a more polite or kind tone of voice instead of a frustrated one? When he texts you to tell you that he'll pick up Johnny on the way home instead of you having to do it, do you tell him "You're such a great dad"? When he comes in from the day, exhausted, would the kindest thing be to simply give him a hug and let him vanish to his man-cave without pressure to talk?
Whatever your next interaction, keep in mind, What is the kindest thing I can do right now? And do it.
Coach's Corner:
After almost four weeks, do you feel your Kindness muscle growing strong? Has practicing these three elements of kindness become instinctive yet? Keep those muscles in use once the Challenge is over and you'll find it keeps being instinctive –in many different relationships!
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.
