10 Simple Acts of Kindness

I was looking through a favorite magazine and came across an article about kindness and it got me thinking about ways to be kind in your daily life. Here are some of my ideas. I hope they encourage you and inspire you to come up with some of your own.

  1. Have extra umbrellas at the office to hand out to co-workers who might not have one on a rainy day.

  2. When someone in a store or restaurant gives you good service, let their manager know.

  3. Pay it forward at a toll booth for the person in the car behind you.

  4. After an event, donate the flowers to a nursing home.

  5. Fill a bag with useful items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, a $20.00 bill, a blanket, etc., and when you pass a homeless person give them the bag.

  6. Put an encouraging and loving post-it note on the mirror for a partner or a child to start their day.

  7. On a morning when you have a bit of extra time, set the table with a tablecloth and flowers for an extra nice breakfast.

  8. Leave a newspaper or magazine at the coffee shop or doctor’s office for the next person.

  9. Acknowledge service people in your life with a cup of coffee, a gift certificate, a bouquet of flowers, to thank them.

  10. Help someone out who’s loading their groceries into their car, and offer to return their shopping cart.
