25 Random Acts of Kindness Ideas
Have you ever heard of Random Acts of Kindness? It’s exactly how it sounds, you perform an act of kindness towards someone, something or place. In honor of Saturday(February 17th) being Random Acts of Kindness Day I’ve compiled a list of ideas to celebrate the day. But don’t feel like you need to restrict Random Acts of Kindness just to one day feel free to do it anytime.
An act of kindness goes along way. It could turn someones rough day upside down, or even their year. It’s contagious. Doesn’t have to cost you any money. Do what you can.
- In the drive thru, pay for the person’s order behind you.
- Pick up trash at a park.
- Hold the door for someone.
- Bring a neighbor cookies.
- Compliment a stranger.
- Smile to five strangers today.
- Bring someone a coffee.
