Day 1 - Say goodbye to 'good'

Every day, countless times, you are greeted with a simple; "How are you?". The greeting often goes something like this...

"Hey, how are you?"
"I'm good, thanks, and you?"
"I'm good."

The challenge today is to not say good. I know you have a wide selection of other words in your vocabulary to describe how you are feeling, so good just won't cover it today. You can say you are doing wonderful, awful, kinda tired, lazy, empowered, hyper, swell, could be better, angry, happy, just listened to a great song, excited, better than yesterday, nervous, hungry, not feeling well, etc.. Whatever you say, be genuine and make sure you also listen to what the other person has to say. If you're up to it, you can also challenge them to use another word as well. 

So, get original and say goodbye to good
"Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness, and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again."
- Og Mandino
I wish you success on Day 1's challenge.
