Last month, I asked you to join me in a month-long daily gratitude practice. I had no expectations. I only offered a practice that greatly benefits me in my daily life. You touched me with your kindness and generosity. I am truly inspired by your participation.
I learned the more I express gratitude, the more I allow myself to open my heart and better appreciate all the wonderful things in my life. I learned to see gratitude through your eyes. I learned I enjoy my journey more when others play along.
I am deeply grateful for the people who helped spread the word and fully embraced this daily practice. You have helped me more fully embrace who I am. I am forever thankful for your direct and indirect influence.
During the month of December, I invite you to join me in another learning opportunity. An opportunity to share your gratitude more directly with others.
Are you up to a new challenge?
Of course you are. So here’s what I have in mind.
Giving a gift a day for 30 days.
Gifts come in all shapes and sizes. True gifts come from our heart. They are delivered with genuine sincerity and with no expectations. They are an expression of who we are. They are something of need for the person receiving the gift. They are given to people we know or total strangers.
The daily practice is simple, give a gift of some kind to anyone you want.
What are gifts? Here’s some food for thought.
- Words of Gratitude. Expressing our deepest sincerity for the people who make a difference in our lives.
- Acts of Services. Doing favors. Lending a helping hand. Saying “Yes” to a request when our first thought is to say “No.”
- Gift of Quality Time. Spend quality time with a person with no strings attached. For the sake of being present and enjoying their company.
- Gift of money. Buy coffee or lunch. Donate to a food or toys.
Share your gifts in any way, shape or form. There is no set method for your daily gift practice. All I ask is you
Have fun. Get creative. Stretch yourself. Commit to a daily practice. You can do it.
On December 1st, you have an opportunity to join a group in a month-long quest. I invite you to commit to a month-long journey of deliberately giving from your heart.
Will you commit to daily gift giving?
Please join me in 30 days of daily status updates sharing the gifts you have given. If you are using Twitter, please add the hashtag #30Gifts to your tweets so we can follow along and celebrate your success. On Facebook, “like” the WeVivify page and tag your status update with WeVivify (@WeVivify).
I trust you will find this learning experience fun and exciting. I look forward to hearing what you learned from your daily gift practice.
Thank you for allowing me to share a gift with you.
