30 Day Kindness Challenge

Most of us have at least one relationship in our lives we wish could be better. Maybe it's at home, maybe it's at work, or maybe it's that person you know God is stretching you to love. This November, 90.9 KLRC and Arvest are bringing back the 30 Day Kindness Challenge!

All you have to do is simply pick one person with whom you want to have a better relationship. For 30 days we'll take the challenge to do 3 simple things. First, say nothing negative about that person. Second, find one positive thing to affirm. And finally, every day, do one small act of kindness for them. 

When you sign up for the 30 Day Kindness Challenge, we'll send you daily text messages with simple but powerful ideas for creative acts of kindness. And you’ll also have a chance to win $50 in "kindness cash" to supersize your kindness! Together, we can transform our community... with kindness!

To sign up, text the word KIND to 800-909-KLRC (that's 800-909-5572)!

P.S. On Friday, Oct 31, we'll be broadcasting live from Arvest Bank on Hwy 412 & Progress in Siloam Springs from 11am-1pm to celebrate the Challenge! You can stop by to grab some stickers, some Kindness Candy, say hello, and we can help get you signed up as well. We hope to see you there!

^{The 30 Day Kindness Challenge was inspired by author Shaunti Feldhahn and her latest book! Read KLRC's Official Contest Rules.} 

^{Daily Text Messages: Kindness Challenge Texts will begin to arrive on November 1st!}

Day 1/30 of the Kindness Challenge: 
Communicate Kudos! Find something praiseworthy your person has done recently and compliment them today. 

Day 2/30: Today... Share the Load. Choose a task you know your person dislikes, and do it with a cheerful attitude and no expectation!

Day 3/30: Today... Share snacks. Leave a snack of their choice on the counter or wherever you know they will see it.

Day 4/30: Today... Offer Encouragement in failure. Everyone makes mistakes, but unconditional support and encouragement mean the most when it's least deserved.

Day 5/30: Today... Tackle Conflict with Kindness. If your person is someone with whom you sometimes have conflict, plan ahead for a positive response.

Day 6/30: Today... Think Drink. Make or bring your person a coffee or other favorite beverage, your treat.

Day 8/30: Today… Offer Your Attention. During a short interaction today, put away your phone to be fully present in the conversation. 

Day 9/30: It's a Grace Day! Catch up on a missed challenge this week... or double up on one for more fun! How are you doing at saying nothing negative?  

Day 10/30: Today... Tackle Insecurity. Say something today that will touch your person's heart and encourage them in an area they may feel insecure about.  

Day 11/30: Today... Get Along. Don't argue with your person. Unless it is something life- or business-altering, defer to them instead.

Day 12/30: Today... Brag on them. Look for a way to praise your person in front of their boss, teacher, parent, or someone whose opinion really matters to them.

Day 13/30: Today... Be Thoughtful. E-mail your person a news article or blog related to their hobbies, favorite team, or something they love! 

Day 14/30: Today... Let 'Em Laugh! E-mail or text your person a joke or funny video, something that is their type of humor. 

Day 15/30: Today... Offer Understanding... by something like, "I'm sorry you had a rough start to your day" or "I bet that did make you frustrated." 

Day 16/30: Today is a Grace Day! If you missed a challenge this week, catch up today! 

Day 17/30: Today...Return the Favor. What's something your person has done for you- an act of service? Words of affirmation? A gift? Do the same for them today! 

Day 18/30: Today... Jump In! If your person is tackling a tough project at work, volunteering, or school, offer to help and follow through with patience!

Day 19/30: Today...Practice Prayer. Find something your person is worried or sad about and tell them you'll pray for them- and then tell them that you did.

Day 21/30: Today...Cheer 'Em On! What does your person have going on today? Leave a sticky note of encouragement about it where they will see it.

Day 23/30: Today is a Grace Day! If you missed a challenge this week, catch up today... or double up on one for more fun! We're down to the last week!  

Day 24/30: Today... Erase That. List those you've complained to about your person, then over the next week, casually mention what you now appreciate about them. 

Day 25/30: Today...Thank 'Em Again. What can you say "thank you" for today? Be on the lookout and tell your person as soon as you see it.

Day 26/30: Today...Praise Publicly. What stands out as your person's best trait? Share it in a way that's meaningful and let others know what makes them special

Day 27/30: HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Send a text to 3 people who have made your life better the past year, and tell them how thankful you are!

Day 28/30: Today... Send Seasonal Treats. Maybe make some Christmas cookies? PS-The KLRC Christmas Music preview is a great soundtrack for baking!
