World Kindness Day: How can you make a difference?
World Kindness Day is an event on the 13th of November encouraging acts of kindness – not just on the 13th of November but in our daily lives.
Why is World Kindness Day important?
World Kindness Day not only highlights the importance of being kind to others but also being kind to ourselves and to the world we live in. The day also emphasises that an act of kindness is powerful and goes a long way – it is as simple as a smile that makes someone’s day.
What could you do as an act of kindness?
1. Send a nice message to a family member/friend.
2. Give a compliment to a family/friend/colleague.
3. Reach out to someone you haven’t spoken for a while and ask how they are doing.
4. Ask a colleague if they would like a cup of tea/coffee.
5. Hold the door open for someone.
6. Give a family member/friend a hug.
7. Help someone with a chore.
8. Buy someone a gift.
9. If you see someone struggling carrying their shopping – ask if they need help.
10. For those with road rage - let someone merge into traffic with a smile and a wave.
