World Kindness Week starts on November 13th, so we're cooking up some random acts of kindness to put into practice when the time comes (and every day)!
While it may seem silly to dedicate a whole week to world kindness, we’re all so caught up in going through the motions of life that we forget to show our appreciation for the ones we love, and we definitely don’t prioritize performing small acts of kindness for the people we encounter throughout our day.
Here are some random acts of kindness you can do throughout “World Kindness Week” and, hopefully, incorporate into your everyday life and routine, even after “World Kindness Week” ends, to benefit your family, friends, strangers, Mother Nature, and yourself!
- Write positive notes for your loved ones to find.
- Leave quarters for someone at the Laundromat.
- Top up meter parking.
- Write positive reviews online for your favorite places.
- Ask to speak to the manager and compliment an employee.
- Carpool with friends or family.
- Pick up trash at your local park or beach (& invite your friends to do the same).
