Well, hello and welcome to the Slow Home podcast.

This is episode number 105.

And it's our last in the series of random acts of kindness experiments.

That's so random.

Music. How did you feel last month?

I've really enjoyed this experiment a lot. The first couple of

weeks, I had to be super mindful of it. It was really kind of top of mind and there were days

where I'm like, I've got to make sure I do my kind thing, even though, like, I do kind things

all the time, but it was something that I was

really kind of forcing myself to be, to be mindful of. You're okay? Yeah, I'm good. I'm just

smiling at it. But I think the last week, I've slipped more into a less forced mindful kindness, if that makes sense.

Like I think, I found myself smiling at people a lot more readily, like really with a full

face kind of smile.

I might look a bit insane, but I think, but I've felt a real ability to connect with people yeah I totally agree and I'm looking

people in the eye and you know asking them how their day is or you know wishing them a good day

or a good morning but really meaning it I have no real idea if they're feeling any difference

but I am and I I'm a big believer in that kind of

connection piece where you're really, you're really present with someone. And if they're switched

onto it or if they're paying attention or if they're present themselves, they can tell. So I feel

like the last week I've shifted into just a, it's kind of like a radiating kindness sort of feeling rather than got to do my kind thing so that I can make a list of the kind things that I did.

It's been, it's been really beautiful actually.

I totally agree.
