The idea this week is to get us in the habit of doing kind things for others. It need not be something extraordinary; in fact, sometimes what may seem like a small act carries the greatest importance to those we love. Just make sure it is a mindful act and is something EXTRA, something you do BECAUSE of this assignment. After having completed your act, please post in the comments section what you did. For some of you this assignment may be easier than doing something kind for yourself. If so, try to do another kind act for yourself this week AND a kind act for someone you love.
Additionally, be sure to remind us who you are when you post (there are so many of us that a short reminder will help us know each other better). If you didn’t introduce yourself last week, be sure to do so this week. At the very least tell us your name and where you are from.
Some ideas: Tell your mom or dad you love them. Help a friend with a chore. Do something loving with a family member you normally don’t do. Give someone close permission to do something they want to do that you don’t normally like (and try to like it).
