FIVE WAYS TO SPREAD KINDNESS

Kindness does not need to be grandiose or costly. Consider:

1. Random acts

Try doing at least one random act of kindness for a stranger. You might carry someone’s groceries or leave a 40% tip at a restaurant.

2. Small gifts

Let your friend or coworker know that you care about them with a gift not related to their birthday or a holiday.

It shows that someone thought of them and spent time and money picking out the gift. This small action will make their day and remain in their memory.

3. Volunteering

There are always places that need volunteers. Find that retirement home, hospital, or school near you to give back.

Apart from helping other people, volunteering gives you a sense of fulfillment and boosts your mental health.

4. Saying yes

It is always tempting to find an excuse not to do a friend a favor. Instead, the next time someone asks you to watch their kids or do something else for them, just say yes.

5. Kind words

Mark Twain said, “I can live for two months on a good compliment.”

Don't assume that those around you know that you appreciate them. Name that they are a precious friend, that their input matters, or that you enjoy their talents.

Such simple observations have a significant positive impact. And when you make someone feel good, you also feel good.
