SOLUTION:

Don't Take People for Granted  

PURPOSE: Don’t forget about the small things (holding hands in the mall, kissing each other good night, hugging your kids before they leave for school, putting a note in their backpack or binder, etc.) in this fast-paced world.

Time: < 30 Minutes

STEP 1: Once a week, write down 7 things you can do (one each day of the week) for those who are important to you.

  • Hold hands during the movie
  • Kiss each other good night
  • Hug your kids before you get in the car and tell them you love them
  • Write a love note to your spouse/significant other
  • Buy flowers for someone to brighten their day (not for an apology)
  • Write down one thing a day that you appreciate about your child, spouse, etc. and give it to them a month, quarter or year later

STEP 2: Determine which day that you are going to complete each “connection”.

STEP 3: To keep it front of mind, write down on a sticky note what you are going to do the following day and place it where you know you’ll see it.

STEP 4: Make your “connection” and share with others how much they mean to you and how you appreciate enjoying the moments within this Journey with them.

STEP 5: Remember the thought - “Always Kiss Me Goodnight”
