Step #3: Act out kindness
The final step is to find one way to actively show kindness or generosity to your person every day. Now, this could be similar to random acts of kindness, such as making a cup of coffee for your spouse or some other act that they would appreciate. However, it can also look quite different. For example, I did this Challenge for my teenage daughter. She would often run into my home office, while I was furiously writing for a deadline and be like “Mom, look at this Tik Tok with me!” And I’d be like, “come back in an hour!”
What I discovered was that taking that moment while she was excited about whatever it was, not an hour later, was an act of kindness to her. These little actions signal to both you and your person that they are valuable.
What can you expect after thirty days of the Kindness Challenge? Well, one thing we know for certain is that how much you thrive is directly related to how you treat others. We found that among those who did the Challenge, 89% of those target relationships had improved! Another 66% said that they themselves felt more loved, even though they were the one putting in the effort to be kind! Those are pretty amazing numbers.
So is there a relationship you’d like to see improve? Do you want to improve yourself? Why not try kindness? Sign up for the 30-Day Kindness Challenge – including 30 days of little reminder/coaching emails. I think you’ll be surprised – and very pleased – with the results.
