XTRADAY (English)

You haven't done anything on February 29 in the last three years. Nothing at all: there was no 29 February. This year you have the chance to do something. This year you get this extra day for free, a day that you only get once every four years!

This year you will do something on that day.

Do something for someone else:

make someone happy and it makes happy yourself.

MAKE HAPPY ➤ GET HAPPY

Why?

• Because it's possible
• Because it's fun
• Because research shows that you will be happier if you do something for someone
• Because you can meet new people
• Because you will learn more about yourself
• Because it's easy
• a small gesture, great pleasure

What can you do

Success factors:

• Time is no problem because you have an entire day extra !!!
• Everything you do for someone else is good: it doesn't have to cost anything.

Tips / examples:

• Go talk to someone you don't know yet or to someone who is alone.
• Greet everyone you meet.
• Smile at everyone you meet.
• Give compliments. 
• Carry the groceries for someone.
• Invite someone for a party game.
• Help someone spend a day in the household: many people have trouble with that. (help with cleaning, washing and ironing or with cooking)
• Do a day of volunteering: register in advance or use this extra day to orientate.
• Wash a car. Repair someone's bicycle lighting.
• Go for a walk with someone.

Tips for if you don't mind that it costs a little bit of money (this pays for itself twice):

• Invite someone to your house for a cup of coffee. Or offer someone something to drink in the city.
• Have someone eat at your place.
• Send postcards to strangers, pick random addresses or send them to the people in the care homes.
• Give someone a flower.

Do you have more to spend?

• Then buy a pair of shoes for someone who desperately needs it.
• Take someone to McDonalds (or a better opportunity 🤣)
• Give a ticket for a theme park as a gift to a family in poverty

Meet

• Meet your neighbors
• Meet new people
• Meet a stranger
• Meet a homeless person
• Meet your enemy
• Meet the people you love
• Meet yourself

The only rule is: No discussion but respect the meaning of the people you meet.
