One of the most beautiful aspects of kindness is the ripple effect it often creates. When we show kindness to others, it can inspire others to be kind, creating a chain reaction.

Here are some examples of intentional kindness, being kind on purpose. You’ll notice that kind acts do not have to be grand gestures or something hard to accomplish.
- Hold the door open for someone who has their hands full.
- Include a new person into your friend group, especially if they seem to be having a hard time making friends.
- Notice something positive about someone and tell them. Be specific.
- Smile!
- Call or visit with your grandparents.

Here are examples of kind acts that are more involved.
- Offer to feed a neighbor’s animals and water their plants when they are planning to take a trip.
- Donate your time with a charitable organization. (e.g. – local food pantry, mental health non-profit, homeless shelter, animal shelter, etc.)
- Reach out to a friend in need.
- Listen with compassion.
