I opened three warm welcomes today

To win this badge you need to turn hospitality into a daily habit and prove you can replace isolation with inclusion. Follow the micro‑guide: each morning spot a moment to greet someone, then deliver a tiny act of kindness, note the ripple, reflect on the mood lift, and share your win. 1. Initiate a genuine greeting with at least three different people. 2. Offer a small hospitality gesture (hold a door, give a coffee, write a note). 3. Record the other person’s reaction and your own feeling in a brief journal entry. 4. Reflect on how the interaction changed your sense of belonging and energy. 5. Post a concise summary of your XENIAL actions in the community or personal log. Completing all five steps shows you’ve mastered the XENIAL habit loop.
