Kindness is Free. Here’s How to Give it Away to Others.

November 13th is World Kindness Day…

I have always believed that kindness is a strength.  Some people may think kindness is a weakness, but in reality, our kind actions, no matter large or small, help to unite our world.  We are born to be kind, but often life can harden us and keep us so busy that we forget to do simple daily things that can ignite a light inside us and others.  One reason I started Be Kind & Co. is to remind us all kindness is free.  Why not give it away?

Here are a few ways I like to be kind.  What are yours?

BE A GOOD LISTENER

GIVE UP A PARKING SPACE

TEXT A FRIEND TO TELL THEM HOW MUCH YOU APPRECIATE THEM

SURPRISE A CO-WORKER WITH A COFFEE, A FLOWER, OR CHOCOLATE (dark chocolate preferably :))

STOP COMPLAINING FOR A DAY/WEEK

SMILE AT A STRANGER

LET ANOTHER DRIVER MERGE INTO YOUR LANE

COMPLIMENT SOMEONE

SPEND TEN SOLID MINUTES LOVING ON YOUR PET WITH NO DISTRACTIONS

TRY GOING VEGETARIAN FOR A WEEK

LAUGH WITH FRIENDS

BE GRATEFUL (Your list will be longer than you expect)

TELL YOURSELF THREE COOL THINGS YOU LIKE ABOUT YOURSELF

DONATE YOUR USED BOOKS

STOP GOSSIPING

RECYCLE (Even when it’s easier just to throw it away)

FOSTER A DOG/CAT

ALLOW TIME TO TAKE A BATH

HELP A SNAIL ACROSS THE SIDEWALK (One of my favorites)
