Ready to Take the Acts of Kindness Challenge?

Random acts of kindness may be small, but they make a huge difference. Performing regular thoughtful actions can improve your mental health and the health of those around you.

Maybe someone has just opened the door for you. Maybe your partner has made your favorite breakfast in bed.

These little actions can make you feel amazing. They make you feel valued and cared for. However, these feelings may be amplified when you’re the one giving out the acts of kindness.

Try taking on the acts of kindness challenge. Perform one act of kindness every day. This can be for a friend, a family member, or a stranger.

These actions don’t have to be extravagant, complicated, or time-consuming. Sometimes the smaller and simpler behaviors make the biggest difference. It’s about showing your love for others and being thoughtful.

So, what can you do each day for your random acts of kindness? Here are some ideas.

• Hold the door open for a stranger
• Buy your friend a coffee
• Bring healthy snacks to work for your colleagues
• Tip the waiter at your local cafe
• Give your partner a compliment
• Let a stranger go in front of you in the queue
• Give up your seat on the bus for a stranger

By performing one or two of these small acts every single day, you will start to feel better yourself. You will be amazed at just how powerful your actions can be.
