Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in 2 minutes a day,  through my signature method of Intentional Margins® (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life. 

 

I'm your host Katie Jefcoat and today is Random Acts of Kindness Day.  First, can we just take a moment to celebrate how fun it is to have a kindness day.  There are so many ways to be kind, to share kindness, to spread a little love in the world and the research actually supports that it helps you as much as it boosts the happiness of the person you are kind to.  

 

Here are a few ideas to inspire you and today, of all days, please tag us on social and let us know what you are doing for kindness week.  

 

  1.  Send a note in the mail.  I know you might be thinking, but it won’t get there today.  Let’s not let perfection stop us.  Just pop a postcard in the mail.  
  • Random Acts of Kindness . org says to take 5 - $1 bills out in the community today and see what presents itself. 
  • Another idea, which is so out of the ordinary is to compliment a driver on how well they parked.  Have you ever tried so hard to parallel park.  It would blow my mind if someone was like, hey, good job.  It would certainly make me smile. 
  • One of my favorite ways to spread kindness is to voice text someone.  On the iPone, you can actually record your voice sending a message.  On Facebook messenger you can do the same up to 1 minute.  I mean, how cool is that.  I love this idea so much.  
  • If you have little kids, making a card for a grandparent or special friend can be a lovely way to spread kindness. 
  • If you want to go bigger, a little gift or flowers left at the door of a friend. 
  • And let’s talk about charitable giving.  Whether it’s a little or a lot, giving is a great random act of kindness. 
  • Authentically recommend someone’s business to a friend. 

    •  

    All of these ideas are just to get you inspired.  I promise you, it will boost your happiness too.  So, share what you are doing today and this week and beyond so we can be inspired with you.  

     

    Until next time, keep spreading that kindness.  The ripple effect of kindness is contagious.
