2/28 Whole Life Wednesday

Taylor is focused while overhead pressing. 
Our New Year Whole Life Challenge ends Friday. We will remeasure ourselves on Friday and retest our WLC workout on Monday. 
Our final Whole Life Challenge Weekly Well-Being practice is to perform intentional acts of kindness. I love this well-being practice because our world needs more kindness. 
The instructions are simple:

1. Each day, consciously perform an act of kindness. It can be as small as you like.
2. Examples might include something as simple as holding the door open for the person walking behind you when you’re in a hurry or taking time to thank someone who offered you help or support. There is no lower limit to kindness.
3. At the end of each day, reflect back on the acts you did or didn’t perform. If you didn’t perform an intentional act of kindness, consider why. Was it a lack of opportunity? Did you forget? Were you self-conscious?

The Whole Life Challenge choose this weekly well-being practice because:

"It’s easy to feel like you’re disconnected from the world — like nobody actually cares about each other or the things that matter to you. It’s as if everyone is left to take care of things alone.

It doesn’t have to be this way. In truth, it’s impossible to get by in the world without the often-unseen thoughtfulness of others. Much of what makes our lives better are the small demonstrations of care that people express through their everyday actions: the held door, help with a flat tire, a quarter for the parking meter, or even just leaving the kitchen as clean as it was found.

This week’s practice is an exploration in being the person to take those actions, to put forth those small, but intentional acts of kindness. By putting your attention on what others need, you’ll be contributing to the kind of world you want to live in — a place where needs are met through connection and mindfulness.
​
The good news is you get to live in that world, too! It’s been our experience that the more you act with intentional kindness, the more you also see it happening all around you."
