Kindness Full Stop

If it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you
It is easier to go through each day making the decisions that you always do which produce the outcome you always get. So, if you want a different result, challenge yourself. Change your response, craft a new reaction, and create a new path that will not only challenge you, it will change you. It may not feel as comfortable, but don’t let that stop you. Strive to Be Your Best You.

SMALL TASK: SIT AND WORKOUT Many of us are spending much more time sitting these days either on the computer, watching TV or reading. Seize this opportunity to add workout time. Here are two suggestions of easy things to do. The first suggestion is getting a rubber ball about 6” in diameter that has some give. You can usually find this type of ball in a Target or a pharmacy in wire bins. They come in assorted colors and patterns. Put the ball between your legs just above your knee and do pulsating squeezes. This is an excellent way to strengthen your inner thighs! The second is getting a tennis ball or another ball of that size and roll it around under each foot. Foot rolling is a simple and effective way to alleviate foot pain, such as planter fasciitis, and even pain that extends all the way to the lower back. I am doing both right now!
SMILE MAKER: DROP OFF A MEAL Buying, preparing, and cooking meals can be a very monotonous and arduous task for most. Give someone a break and drop off some eats. It can either be homemade or store bought because it is truly the thought that counts. Maybe it is for a friend who would certainly appreciate a dish from their favorite restaurant or you can drop off sandwiches and cookies at lunchtime for a family with kids at home doing online learning or deliver food to a neighbor that would love to taste some of your homemade chili. What a wonderful surprise to get food delivered to you by someone who cares.
