Day 14: Accountability check
Get out your personal notebook today, and think back over these past two weeks. Record your thoughts on how you have been doing on all three areas of kindness. For today's personal check-up, consider especially how you are doing at finding something to praise your husband for each day – and telling him and at least one other person?
Coach's Corner:
As The Kindness Challenge puts it, "What you focus on is what you will see." If your marriage is in a rough patch (most go through one at some point), it can be difficult to avoid focusing on the negatives. So, in your personal notebook, make a list of real and positive things you appreciate about your husband. (You could also add this to your gift journal!) Pick one as your affirmation for today (then you can refer back to the list on other days when you need a reminder).
Or perhaps the issue isn't the difficulty of the relationship but simply the need to be more purposeful. Consider implementing a specific success strategy. For example: "I remember to praise my husband daily, but I forget to say those positive things about him to someone else. I'll post a sticky note on my computer or set an alarm on my phone to remind me to mention good things about him to friends and family."
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.
