DAILY CHALLENGE

Embrace the Moment

Spend 15 minutes of uninterrupted time with a loved one, focusing solely on listening and sharing. No phones, no distractions—just pure connection.

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Find a Quiet Space: Choose a spot where you can sit comfortably without interruptions. This could be your living room, a cozy café, or a peaceful park.

2. Set the Timer: Use your phone or a timer to set 15 minutes. Make sure to put your phone on silent mode to avoid distractions.

3. Be Present: Look each other in the eyes. Listen with your heart. Speak with intention.

Conversation Starters:

• "What’s something that made you smile this week?"

• "Is there anything on your mind that you’d like to share?"

• "What’s a dream you’ve been thinking about lately?"

Encouraging Message:

These 15 minutes are a gift to both of you. It’s a chance to deepen your connection, to understand each other a little more, and to create a moment of intimacy that will linger long after the timer stops.

You’ve got this!

Cherish the silence, relish the words, and most importantly, enjoy each other’s company. You’re building something beautiful, one moment at a time.
