Day 2. Lending a helping hand
Do a task that you know your person dislikes with a cheerful attitude and no expectation. Take your neighbor's garbage can to the curb on trash pickup day; clean the dirty mugs in the sink even though it is your spouse or colleague's day to do it; offer to drop the other soccer mom's son at home, so she doesn't have to come back to the ball fields in traffic.
Coach's Corner: The research found that many small actions have an outsized impact; not because that specific action is unusually valuable but because it tells the other person you are valuable and valued. (And if you are doing a gift journal for your person, remember to write down the ways you value them each day.)
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.
