Do something kind today
Kindness is good for the giver, too. Research suggests small acts of kindness are linked with a better mood and a greater sense of connection, and the warm feeling often lasts longer than you'd expect.
It doesn't have to be grand:
- bring a neighbor a jar of soup
- leave a sticky note thanking a coworker
- let someone go ahead of you in line
- text a friend what you admire about them
- pick up litter on your walk
Before the day is over, choose one act of kindness. Notice how you feel afterward, and how they do.
- connection
- gratitude
- joy
