Day of Reflection

You are going to report to the universe the progress you made during your week on planet earth. What did you think went well and what didn't. What did you learn? How did you feel beforehand and how now? Did you increase your sense of well-being by giving instead of taking? Did you get closer to your soul destination?


Helpers High

Your soul is fulfilled by enriching the lives of others. Today you are there to save and help others people. The more people you help the higher your score! Reach out and touch somebody's hand. Make this world a better place if you can.


Diversity Day

Learn from the differences. Enjoy the similarities. Find the differences in the similarities and the similarities in the differences. Be fearless. Be yourself. Everybody is fucked-up & nuts. Be yourself. Do whatever comes to mind and turn off the opinions of others.


Power or Hello

Behold the world as if you crawled out from under a rock. Connect out of interest not out of fear. As if you were a tourist in your own country you take an interest in others. Everyone sees you as a walking encyclopedia. Show interest and smile. So: head-up high say hello and say goodbye.


Good Vibes Only

The more you love, the more love you become. The more love you are, the more love you spread. Today you put on your rose-colored glasses and fall in love with everything. You are aware of the power of your energy on the world around you. Today you spread only good vibes.
