After Twelve Days on Kindness, Am I Squeezed Dry of the Stuff?
I committed to writing on ‘kindness’ for 12 days and this is how I feel
In the days before Christmas, I was struggling to find much delight in the approaching festive season.
In an attempt to divert my attention from a potentially flat, Covid-weary Christmas in the UK, I decided to write daily on ‘Kindness’ and counter those feelings.
I announced it in a story, which forced me to be accountable, and I set a “why”.
Was it easy?
Yes and no. Sometimes I didn’t know what I was going to write until I sat down. And then the words flowed.
I began to feel tired of generating ideas towards the end of the twelve days, which made it harder. But, thankfully the ideas kept flowing without me feeling like I was scraping the bottom of the barrel.
