Love Dare #3: Collect Evidence of Love

This Love Dare is one of the weekly love dares participants of the 40-day Fear Cleanse have taken… they loved it so much, and I love it so much that I wanted to share it with ALL of you! Enjoy!!

Step 1:
Schedule or spontaneously decide to go on an adventure to collect LOVE! 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour or an entire day.

Step 2:
Use all of your senses to find evidence of love everywhere — see, smell, taste, feel, and hear it. Literally breathe love in, take note of loving exchanges between others, taste love in your food, smell love in a flower, hear love in a song or in a compliment you receive, feel love when you take a moment to hug your dog or do anything that opens your heart.

Step 3:
Actually collect the love – Throughout the day, using all your senses, seek out evidence of love, and collect it. You must capture this evidence of love somewhere, either by writing it down, taking a picture of it, sharing it with your social network, recording it on a voice recorder, whatever makes you happy. Pick your collection device of choice – a small pocket-sized notebook, a digital device you can write on, post it notes, or a camera you can snap pictures with.

• Keep the awareness as much as possible during your day-to-day interactions.
  
• Look for love even in the challenging moments.
  
• Be alert for spontaneous acts of love. Take a love collecting field trip during lunch or in the late afternoon.
  
• When you can’t take physical notes, take a mental note, by pausing in the moment, noticing the love and storing the event away in your mind and heart as evidence that love exists everywhere.
