365 Acts of Affection
A daily practice for living with more care, presence, and integrity.
365 Acts of Affection is a simple, values-led practice: one small act each day, shared quietly, designed to be lived rather than performed.
This is not a challenge or a productivity tool.
It’s an invitation to practise affection — in ordinary moments, in real life.
Each act is intentionally small and human — a pause before replying, eye contact that lasts, returning when the mind wanders.
Like anything we want to improve at, affection grows through practice. Daily repetition builds the muscle memory of care — in how we listen, respond, and show up for ourselves and others.
You can begin anywhere.
Miss a day. Return. Start again.
Affection isn’t something we achieve.
It’s something we practise — one small act at a time.

This week, we begin with Presence, within the theme The Self.
Before change, before action, before connection with others, we come home to ourselves.
Presence asks us to notice where our attention goes — and to practise returning. Not perfectly, not constantly, but gently. Again and again.
These acts are small by design. They don’t ask for more time, only more attention.
Begin where you are. Miss a day. Return. This is a practice.

This week, we turn toward Connection, within the theme The Heart.
Connection isn’t something we manufacture.
It’s something we allow — through presence, through warmth, through attention that doesn’t rush to fix or fill the space.
Before performance.
Before problem-solving.
Before response.
Connection begins in how we meet one another — moment by moment.
