Today’s #BeKind21 message is from Find Your Anchor.

My name is Ali, my pronouns are she, her, and hers, and I am the founder of Find Your Anchor. I am a firm believer in the power of little things – that the smallest act of kindness can change somebody’s world.

That is why, for your first #BeKind21 message, I am so proud to share about my organization Find Your Anchor, where we launch kindness in the form of little blue boxes. Each FYA box is packed with various materials designed to inspire, soothe and offer support – such as a deck of 52+ Reasons to Live cards, an infographic on depression, list of resources, a letter, posters, a bracelet, a sticker, some other sweet nothings, and a whole lot of good vibes.

Within each box, we also include the Please Stay Pledge, an interactive and accessible mental health resource, created in partnership with our dear friends at Born This Way Foundation.

We’ve built a community of strangers who offer support and believe selfless acts of kindness nourish our souls and strengthen our communities. Through kindness, we promote empathy and personal connection, lessening feelings of isolation.

We hope to inspire each of you to build acts of kindness into your lives with our gift of the #BeKind21 (printable) cards. Here’s a sneak peek of our cards:

Although no act of kindness is too small, we hope you enjoy these pocket-sized ideas to get you started spreading love.

Your kindness challenge today: Click here to access and print your 21+ Ways to Be Kind cards on 8.5 x 11 paper to carry with you, share with others, and serve as a reminder to show love to yourself and others. You never know who might need an uplifting message reminding them they matter and we need them to please stay.

Today’s #BeKind21 message is brought to you by our partners at Find Your Anchor.

I want to start by sharing a reminder: no act of kindness is too small.

The physical form of Find Your Anchor is a small blue box packed with various materials designed to inspire, soothe, and offer support. These boxes are then planted in public places (the library, the Vegas strip, etc.) to be found by those in need; specifically those close to suicide in one way or another. The boxes are intended to be organic in the sense that each person can add their own inspiration and anchors into the box before passing it along.

Kindness is the heart and soul of what we do. We believe that kindness helps promote empathy and personal connection, lessening an individual's feelings of isolation. By bringing more acts of kindness into the world, we strengthen those bonds of connection, and, as a result, grow our own sense of community and belonging.

We're excited to help each and every one of you build acts of kindness into your everyday lives with our gift of the 21+ Ways to Be Kind (printable) cards. Here’s a sneak peek of our cards:

Although no act of kindness is too small, we hope you enjoy these pocket-sized ideas to get you started spreading love.
