GRATITUDE CHALLENGE DAY ONE
November 1, 2020Pay it forward. You’ve probably heard of this idea before. Basically, do something kind to someone anonymously. Pick something you would like done to you, like having your order paid for at a restaurant. Pay it forward. Or, backwards. Pay for the order behind you at a drive-thru window. Whatever you choose, do it in a way where you won’t receive any credit or thanks. Trust that the person receiving the gift will be grateful and one day will repeat the favor. Unexpected gifts are the best.That’s today’s Gratitude Challenge.
November 7, 2020Gratitude Challenge Two
Today, your goal is to help others be thankful by paying compliments. This is reverse gratitude and it works every time. Intentionally compliment as many people as possible. Be genuine and sincere. Look the person in the eye and tell them how special they are to you or how beautiful they look.
Compliment kids by talking about their skills. Find something positive in everyone. Encourage the employee at the gas station who is having a horrible day or the teacher who might be struggling. When you show gratitude by pointing out others’ uniqueness, they will then thank you for being vocal. This is the cycle of gratitude in action. Be prepared to be thanked all day as you compliment throughout your day. Those you’ll speak to will be blessed and you’ll be encouraged. What could be better?
