By doing this 1-week challenge, you can learn to befriend your fears, take ownership over them, and become the writer of your own destiny.

~~~ Identify & Solve: ~~~

– Tool #1: Every night for a week, write down the top things creating fear or anxiety for you in your life.
For each one, ask yourself if the fear/worry is justified or not? If yes, how so? Gain knowledge about the fear, its origins, and how others have successfully overcome similar fears. Understanding the fear can demystify it and reduce its power.
For each one ask yourself, if your friend were facing the problem, what would you tell them?

– Tool #2: Every night for a week, write down any triggers of your fears and/or anxieties.
For each one, write down what you were doing at the time.
For each one, write down what you could’ve said to yourself in that moment to feel less scared.

That’s it! Try to do this DAILY every day for 7 days and see how you feel!

It’s important to note that the effectiveness of these strategies can vary among individuals, and a personalized approach may be necessary. The key is to be patient, persistent, and compassionate with oneself during the process of overcoming fears. Seeking professional guidance can also offer tailored support based on the specific nature of the fear and its impact on one’s life.

Come back and let us know how it worked for you.

You’d be surprised by what KINDNESS TO OTHERS does for your OWN well-being! (Or maybe you wouldn’t.)

By doing this 1-week challenge, you can strengthen your kindness muscle. Give it a try. What have you got to lose?

~~~ Kindness Challenge: ~~~

– Set a goal for yourself to perform a certain number of acts of kindness each day or week.

– If you’re that kind of person, create a way to track the number of acts each day and see how you do.

– These “acts” can be BIG or SMALL. What’s most important is that they are spontaneous acts of kindness without expecting anything in return.

– Challenge friends or family to join you in spreading kindness.

That’s it! Do this for 7 days and see how you feel!

Like it? Keep going! Creating a behavior can take anywhere from a few days to a few months depending on all sorts of stuff. If you really wanna create muscle memory, we recommend continuing on and being conscious about it for at least several weeks.

Come back and let us know how it worked for you.

Top 5 key quotes from The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You’re Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are

“Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we’ll ever do.” - The Gifts of Imperfection
This quote highlights the courage required to embrace one’s authentic self and navigate the journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance.

“Wholehearted living is about engaging in our lives from a place of worthiness. It means cultivating the courage, compassion, and connection to wake up in the morning and think, ‘No matter what gets done and how much is left undone, I am enough.’” - The Gifts of Imperfection
Brené Brown emphasizes the concept of wholehearted living, emphasizing the importance of recognizing one’s inherent worthiness and finding fulfillment in being enough as you are.

“What we know matters, but who we are matters more.” - The Gifts of Imperfection
This quote underscores the significance of character and authenticity over mere knowledge, suggesting that our essence carries more weight in shaping our lives.

“Understanding the difference between healthy striving and perfectionism is critical to laying down the shield and picking up your life. Research shows that perfectionism hampers success. In fact, it’s often the path to depression, anxiety, addiction, and life paralysis.” - The Gifts of Imperfection
The quote delineates the detrimental effects of perfectionism on mental well-being and success, encouraging a shift toward healthy striving and self-compassion.

“Belonging is the innate human desire to be part of something larger than us. Because this yearning is so primal, we often try to acquire it by fitting in and by seeking approval, which are not only hollow substitutes for belonging but often barriers to it.” - The Gifts of Imperfection
Brené Brown explores the distinction between true belonging and the superficial pursuit of fitting in or seeking approval, emphasizing the genuine connection that comes from embracing our authentic selves.
