Day 22. Turn complaints into praise
Have you spoken negatively about your person to someone else in the past? (For example, have you complained about your stepson to your colleagues?) Make a list of the main people you've complained to and today (and over the next few weeks), casually bring up with them what you now appreciate about your person. ("Did I tell you that Alan's son got accepted to his first choice college? He worked really hard this past year to bring his grades up.")
Coach's Corner: As you develop your kindness skills, it is important to not only keep your own mindset positive, but to work to heal any concerns you may have previously raised in the minds of others. (Have you already been working to heal some of those concerns? Share those stories—carefully!—on your blog or on social media, using #JoinKindness.)
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.
