Step #3: If appropriate: record your words of affirmation each day and share them as a gift
As you do the 30-Day Kindness Challenge, you’ll be finding things to verbally affirm or praise about this particular person you care about. If it is a relationship in which this would be appropriate (for example, a spouse or child), try secretly recording those words of affirmation each day in a journal or notebook that you can later give to that person as a special gift.
Based on our research, you will find yourself beginning to appreciate that person more and more as you not only see those positive things, and say those positive things, but remember them as well.
Not only will you have the experience of watching your relationship with this person blossom and grow over the 30 days; at the end of that month you’ll have the priceless experience of watching their face as they open a present they will keep for a lifetime. A written record of you—day after day after day—contemplating the wonderful things you appreciate, love and value about them.
We encourage you—if you want more kindness in the world—start with the person standing in your shoes. And if you feel a stirring that you should do this, don’t let it pass. You can do it on your own, but we definitely recommend that you sign up for 30 days of reminder emails and tips at the 30-Day Kindness Challenge today. I promise it will be life-changing.
