The Idea:
Today’s challenge is to record a voice message—no texts, no emails—and send it to someone important in your life. In your own voice, tell them what they mean to you, how they’ve impacted you, or why you’re grateful for them. Then send it without editing or overthinking.
Why It’s Good:
Speaking heartfelt words aloud is vulnerable. You risk feeling awkward, stumbling over your words, or getting emotional. That’s exactly why it builds confidence—because it teaches you to express love even when it’s scary.
You also give someone a gift they can replay—a voice filled with real warmth and meaning. Most people never hear how much they matter until it’s too late. You change that, today.
How to Do It:
- Choose Someone You Genuinely Care About: A friend, sibling, mentor, partner, or someone you’ve drifted from.
- Record a 30–60 Second Message: Speak from the heart. Mention specific things they’ve done or who they are.
- Don’t Over-Rehearse or Re-Record: Keep it human, not perfect.
- Send It Without Apology: Let them hear it. Let them feel it.
