Thoughtfulness is Kindness
Sometimes showing kindness is a quick action that simply shows others you are being thoughtful:
- Open the door for another person
- Smile. Share a smile with family members, co-workers, and even strangers. A smile is a great way to boost someone’s day.
- Pick up a piece of trash you see on the ground.
- Encourage your children to show kindness at school.
- They can make a new student feel welcome; write a thank-you note to their teacher, principal or custodian; wave to their crossing guard; share their snack; or encourage a classmate who seems lonely or is having a bad day.
- Help someone by picking up something they dropped.
- Call a family member who lives far away and tell them you love them.
- Do a chore without being asked.
- Shovel snow, take out the garbage, rake the leaves or cook a dinner for your neighbor.
- Take a box of donuts or flowers to work for your co-workers, or even for the office/business next to yours.
- Take the time to listen to someone you know is having a bad day.
- Tell your boss, co-worker, teacher, classmate or family member why you appreciate them.
- Donate blood.
- Write a thank you note to someone who has influenced your life: a mentor, a teacher, a family member.
- Tip your restaurant server generously.
- Pay for the person behind you in the fast food drive-thru or at the toll booth.
- Give at least one compliment to somebody every day.
