First World Citizen

Instructions for the leader

Pair up participants, designating one as the "problems person" and the other as the "blessings person". The problems person starts by sharing a minor, first-world complaint (e.g., "My coffee was too cold this morning"). The blessings person interrupts and reframes the complaint into a positive blessing (e.g., "That's great—you got to enjoy a refreshing iced coffee instead!"). Go back and forth, with the problems person offering 3–5 different complaints and the blessings person reframing each one. After 5 minutes, switch roles.
