Choose a day that will be your "Day of Compassion" and try your absolute best to live each minute of that day as compassionately as possible.

leave no behaviour unexamined -- from watching TV to eating lunch to decisions about giving time or money to others. That is, don't limit yourself to simply holding the door open for a stranger or petting a lonely dog;think about all the unnecessary suffering in the world, and strive for the greatest impact and deepest level of compassion without being phony or insincere.It is up to you to define what compassion is and to decide how best to realize it. If you are already quite compassionate, try being compassionate toward groups you don't often focus on, and even if your actions don't differ much from how you normally behave, carefully observe and analyze what transpires during the day. If outside events make it difficult for you to participate on the designated day, or if you feel dissatisfied with your performance of the assignment, feel free to repeat the exercise on a later day.
