The idea of this challenge is for you to learn many ways to help you deal with everyday stress. So far I have challenged you with 10 different things to do to help shift you from a place of stress to a place of peace. This week your challenge will hopefully do the same. This week your challenge is plain and simple. Do something kind for someone EVERY day!
I don’t think the challenge is the do something kind part, but perhaps it IS a challenge to do it daily. One of the easiest ways I find that I can shift my mood is by doing something nice for others. The other day while on a quick run to the grocery store, I was in the express check out lane. I was thinking about all the things I needed to take care of when I noticed the woman in front of me was fumbling through her purse. She realized she did not have enough money for her generic 4 pack of toilet paper and a pack of generic tampons. She told the woman to put them back. I immediately left all of my troubles behind me and told the cashier to put them back in her bag and I would pay. The customer was so grateful. I told her, “we all need to look out for each other.” and winked. We both left that store with big smiles.
I felt so good to be able to something for a stranger. It made me sad to think of her not having enough money for some basic essentials. When I got to the car, my son asked me about the situation. I told him that whenever we can, we must help others. It feels good. I felt blessed.
So take that story with you this week and look for all the opportunities where you can share random acts of kindness. I would love to have you share some stories with us.
Be blessed and bless others!
