This proven concept is deeply rooted in Torah and psychology. It\u2019s fun, quick, and easy. By writing down a chessed each day, it trains your eyes to look for opportunities and act on them. This rewires your brain and creates a new habit. Subconsciously, you&#8217;ll start seeking and doing favors for others and receiving goodness in return.<\/p><p>There are different ways to learn, i.e., listening, speaking, reading, and writing. When you actually write it down each day, it creates new connections in your heart, mind, and body that can genuinely change you and the world.<\/p><p>Consistency is powerful. By doing it each day, as opposed to only when you feel like it, you become a better person and make a greater impact. You\u2019ll begin to notice something amazing: you\u2019ll feel happier, more energized, and your well-being will improve. This may require courage and being a \u201cgibor\u201d (strong); you may need to work at it. Binyamin was a gibor and found inner strength, believed in Hashem, himself, and had faith he could succeed. If you apply yourself little by little, you will succeed in this challenge.<\/p><p>This single act will improve your life and the world around you. Doing it consistently for 40 days will create a new habit of doing favors for others and receiving all the good that comes from it. There is a world-famous rabbi who hasn\u2019t missed a day in over 35 years! He attributes this single idea to his Success.<\/p><p><strong>I used to think I was really nice until I realized I was fooling myself<br \/><\/strong><em>\u201cWhen I know that I have to write something down at the end of the day it changes my life.

The Kindness A Day Journal has retrained me to gladly welcome the chance of doing a mitzva. Now when my friend asks me for a ride I say \u2018Thank you so much for asking me. He just looks at me and smiles.\u2019 I used to think I was too busy, but now I embrace the opportunities because I don\u2019t want to end up at the end of the day with nothing to write down. It\u2019s amazing.

Before I started I never focused on one thing every single day. I jumped from one idea to the next but never made any profound changes.

Not only am I helping my community more, I have really upped my game with my own family and they are loving it.

By writing it down, it changes who you are, making you prioritize Chessed each and every day.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1814\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1814\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 192 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M0 384.662V127.338c0-17.818 21.543-26.741 34.142-14.142l128.662 128.662c7.81 7.81 7.81 20.474 0 28.284L34.142 398.804C21.543 411.404 0 402.48 0 384.662z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-up\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M288.662 352H31.338c-17.818 0-26.741-21.543-14.142-34.142l128.662-128.662c7.81-7.81 20.474-7.81 28.284 0l128.662 128.662c12.6 12.599 3.676 34.142-14.142 34.142z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Does doing a chessed for my family count?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1814\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1814\"><p>Well, it depends. The goal of the Chessed Challenge is to Stretch yourself and raise your consciousness, grow and build a world full acts of kindness. There are two ways of approaching this:<\/p><ol><li>\u00a0Count only the chessed that you do outside of the home. Some feel that your family is simply an extension of yourself and it should \u201cbe a given\u201d that you will do kindness for your family everyday! With this opinion, the Chessed Challenge should be focused on doing a notable kindness for those outside of your immediate family.<p>or<\/p><\/li><li>Include your family. You see, your family is the most important relationship you have. If you are not already doing Chessed with your family then you are missing the boat. Doing kindness for others and not giving to our families will shortchange those for whom we are most responsible. If this sounds familiar, consider including your family Chessed in the Challenge then growing outwards.<\/li><\/ol><p>Warning: Make sure that you do not use your family as \u201can easy out\u201d. The goal of the Challenge is to transform yourself into a person who does acts of kindness in the world. When you look at your life you\u2019ll know what to call a Chessed.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1815\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"5\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1815\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 192 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M0 384.662V127.338c0-17.818 21.543-26.741 34.142-14.142l128.662 128.662c7.81 7.81 7.81 20.474 0 28.284L34.142 398.804C21.543 411.404 0 402.48 0 384.662z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-up\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M288.662 352H31.338c-17.818 0-26.741-21.543-14.142-34.142l128.662-128.662c7.81-7.81 20.474-7.81 28.284 0l128.662 128.662c12.6 12.599 3.676 34.142-14.142 34.142z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Can I write down more than one chessed per day?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1815\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"5\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1815\"><p>No. The idea is simplicity.

This proven concept is deeply rooted in Torah and psychology. It\\u2019s fun, quick, and easy. By writing down a chessed each day, it trains your eyes to look for opportunities and act on them. This rewires your brain and creates a new habit. Subconsciously, you&#8217;ll start seeking and doing favors for others and receiving goodness in return.<\\\/p><p>There are different ways to learn, i.e., listening, speaking, reading, and writing. When you actually write it down each day, it creates new connections in your heart, mind, and body that can genuinely change you and the world.<\\\/p><p>Consistency is powerful. By doing it each day, as opposed to only when you feel like it, you become a better person and make a greater impact. You\\u2019ll begin to notice something amazing: you\\u2019ll feel happier, more energized, and your well-being will improve. This may require courage and being a \\u201cgibor\\u201d (strong); you may need to work at it. Binyamin was a gibor and found inner strength, believed in Hashem, himself, and had faith he could succeed. If you apply yourself little by little, you will succeed in this challenge.<\\\/p><p>This single act will improve your life and the world around you. Doing it consistently for 40 days will create a new habit of doing favors for others and receiving all the good that comes from it.

The goal of the Chessed Challenge is to Stretch yourself and raise your consciousness, grow and build a world full acts of kindness. There are two ways of approaching this:<\\\/p><ol><li>\\u00a0Count only the chessed that you do outside of the home.

You see, your family is the most important relationship you have. If you are not already doing Chessed with your family then you are missing the boat. Doing kindness for others and not giving to our families will shortchange those for whom we are most responsible.
