“Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.”

– Princess Diana

Random Acts Of Kindness Ideas:

• First of all be kind to yourself, you could book a massage, you might have benefits for this.  With the March Break fast approaching now is a good time to book those health and wellness appointments you’ve been meaning to get to!
• Bring a coffee to a coworker.
• Doing the laundry for your spouse, a family member or your room mate.
• Offering to clean someone’s home when they are unable to.
• Helping a senior person to care for their pet by walking their dog, bringing in those heavy boxes of kitty litter, taking the pet to the vet, etc.
• Paying for the person behind you at the grocery store or drive-thru.
• Drop a few quarters into an expired (or almost expired) parking meter.
• Donating your time and helping out at your nearby shelter.
• Donating your time and skills. If you can play piano, donating piano lessons to a needy child would be an example.
• Buy some groceries for someone you know is having financial problems. A senior person who is living just on social security is a good example.
• If someone “snaps” at you, instead of snapping back simply say something like “I’m sorry you are having a bad day, I do hope it gets better.”
• Call someone you haven’t spoken to in a while just to catch up.
