Day 7: Pollinate Kindness

Today’s challenge is another one meant to help us slow down and consider others. When you go shopping this week ask the cashier how their day is going with the intention to really listen. If they’re wearing a name tag you may even thank them using their name as you leave. I’ve noticed how masks have added a feeling of extra distance from people when I’m out and about these days. It’s so hard when I can’t smile at people! My mask has pushed me to communicate kindness to strangers a little differently. I use my voice a bit more these days, saying hello as I hold a door for someone behind me and trying to be more aware of the cashier helping me out. Sometimes simple shifts in our routines can really make us see things differently!
