Small moments of beauty are quietly happening all around us. This week’s challenge is to notice one beautiful thing each day—and pause long enough to truly appreciate it.

We often appreciate ordinary comforts only when they are missing. This week’s challenge is to notice one familiar thing each day and recognize how it quietly supports your life.

How much time do those quick phone games take from your day/ This week, resist the urge to play and choose something that brings you back to the life happening around you.

Before reacting in a difficult moment, pause, breathe, and give yourself time to choose your response. This week’s challenge is to create a little space between what happens and what you do next.

For one week, turn off the television, phones, and tablets during one meal each day. Spend that time talking, listening, and reconnecting with the people you love.
