3 Ideas for Spreading Kindness PERFORM RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS
On Feb. 17, people around the world will do random acts of kindness. Celebrated each year, Random Acts of Kindness Day is a day dedicated to being kind purely for the goodwill it creates. Here are three ideas to inspire your own random acts of kindness. 1. LEAVE ANONYMOUS STICKY NOTESWITH KINDMESSAGES As you go about your day, carry a Post-It pad with you. When inspiration hits, write a kind message on one of the sticky notes and leave it for someone else to find. Words of encouragement like “Thank you for being you,” and “You can do this,” work well. It doesn’t have to be lengthy to be powerful, and you might turn someone’s day around when they really need it.
2. BUY A BOX OF DONUTS AND OFFERTHEMTO COWORKERS You can also offer them to strangers, like Vanessa Daves did during her travels around the U.K. Inspired by Random Acts of Kindness Day, Daves bought a box of donuts before getting on her bus to Edinburgh and offered them up to anyone she encountered, from rental car employees to a Peruvian family. “It was wonderful to see how that little donut put a smile on their faces and turned a Monday into a great day,” Daves said. 3. BE KINDTO SOMEONEWHO HASN’T DONE ANYTHINGTO ‘DESERVE’ IT The hardest kind act is the one we perform for someone we don’t think deserves it. But often, those are the souls who need it the most. Until we’ve walked a mile in their shoes, it’s pretty hard to judge what they’ve been through to get
where they are. In addition to giving away donuts during her travels, Vanessa Daves donated to individuals she encountered who looked as if they could use some extra cash. “What I found is that giving to people on the street who are wearing dirty clothes and are cold and maybe even sitting in the rain is incredibly humbling,” she says.When donating to folks on the street, she also came to a realization: “Poverty does not discriminate. Sometimes, kindness does.” Random acts of kindness are just that — generous acts done with no expectation of reward. As you go about your month, find the time to perform a random act of kindness or two.
