Research is proving the value to health and happiness to you and your community, of doing acts of charity, kindness and gratitude.
An excellent coaching skill is the Challenge, where the coach requests the client to stretch beyond self-imposed limits.
It works like this. I, a Life Coach, Challenge you, the reader, to look around your environment and find something that needs to be done to make it better and do it.
Pay attention to how you feel when you do it, the reaction of the person who receives its value, and your reaction to that.
Note the chain of events and the effect it produces. Remember, even if you don’t get thanked, you may be helping someone learn to do so next time.
Another good act you can do is to write (e-mail) me a brief note of the act you did, how you felt doing it and the reaction of any person involved.
