Random acts of kindness are intended to make another person's day better.The most important thing is to not expect anything in return for doing the things you can to be kind.Complimenting people, sharing a smile, paying it forward, and expressing thanks are some of the ways to practice random acts of kindness.
Step 1: Don't be shy about giving out praise generously.
If you like the other person, compliment them on it instead of staring at the floor.It will make them feel good and it will start a conversation with a new friend.You look great today, I love your new haircut. Where did you get that sweater?Share the compliment that you heard with the person they were talking about.
Step 2: You can share a smile.
There are smiles on everyone's face.Show that you're happy to be with them when you talk to someone, whether they are a stranger or a friend.You should smile if you meet someone who is sad or grumpy.Ask them if they're having a hard day, listen to their problems, offer to help in any way you can, and wish them better luck in the future.If you can help them down the road, share contact information.
Step 3: Send postcards to the sick kids in the hospital.
Kids will love having someone new to talk to if you don't know them.To show them that people are thinking of them, bring a small gift, like a card or stuffed animal.The elderly can be lonely.Listen to their stories when you visit them.
Step 4: If you can, volunteer.
If you have a homeless shelter in your area, you can offer your help with meals and transportation.If you love animals, look for a shelter.Help out by taking the dogs for walks.
Step 5: Pay it forward.
The people sitting next to you at the restaurant should be paid for their meals.The people in the car behind you should cover the coffee.Feed the parking meter for the car next to yours to keep them from getting a ticket.You can pay for tickets for the family in line behind you.
Step 6: You should give up your seat on public transportation
Everyone will appreciate a seat in a packed bus or train, it doesn't have to be for elderly folks or pregnant women.
Step 7: Practice self-care.
It's just as important to be kind to yourself as it is to other people.If you want to take care of yourself, take a bath, read a good book, and compliment yourself.When things don't go as planned, be patient and support yourself with positive affirmation.This will make you a better person to help others.
Step 8: Before the family member can get to it, do a chore for them.
If your partner cooks dinner, give it to them in the same way that they would do it.It will show them how much you appreciate what they do.You can wash their car, weed the yard, do the dishes, and make them breakfast in bed.
Step 9: Thanks to the people who don't get a lot of thanks.
The more invisible people in our society keep our lives running smoothly.The person who delivers your mail, the barista who prepared your coffee, and the janitor who cleans the building are all deserving of a thank you.In person, write a note or say thank you.You can send treats to your local police station, emergency room, or fire department.You can either make them yourself or order them from a bakery.Send a thank you card with your gift.
Step 10: Don't leave a large tip at a restaurant.
Waiters and waitresses rely on tips a lot.Leave a 50% tip to make someone's day.
Step 11: Pick up trash on the side of the road.
Normally city employees or private clean-up agencies do that, so make their job easier by cleaning up litter.If you are driving, make sure you stop on the side of the road.If you take a walk, make sure you have a plastic grocery bag with you.
Step 12: Expect nothing back.
You care about another person and want them to be happy so you give them free acts of kindness.No matter what you do, kindness will improve your sense of well-being and happiness.If you pick up trash on the side of the road, don't call the city waste management office and brag about how much work you saved them.If you do a chore for a family member, don't hold it over their head by saying "You owe me one." if you give up your seat on public transportation.
