We all know the world an be a terrible place sometimes. Often we get too caught up on the big picture and the disasters happening around us and the terrible way the world is. But I refuse to give in to nihilism and cynical world views. I try to practice Everyday Kindness. I don't do these things every single day, but I try to do at least one.
Tell a friend you love them
Give up your seat on the bus or train if you're able to
Spend some time appreciating nature
Tell a joke to make someone smile
Do things you like for yourself
Look in the mirror and name something you like about yourself
Help someone navigate an unfamiliar location
Pick something up someone dropped
Give to charity; time or money
Reward yourself for your hard work
Tell a loved one why you enjoy their company
Make a list of reasons to celebrate life
Read something that makes you smile
Pay for a friend's drink, if you're able to
Thank someone for doing a thankless job
Let someone go before you in a que
Ask for help when you need it
Hug someone if they're comfortable with that
Listen to how your body feels
Listen to how your heart feels
Learn something that interests or excites you
Remember something that made you smile
Thank someone for their kindness
Send pictures/videos of animals to people who like them
I hope you have a good day and maybe you'll try to notice or practice some Everyday Kindness. Remember, the world is what we make of it. We have the power to control how we respond to life's challenges.
