Kindness Challenge: Day Eleven of Twelve – Donate Things
Use today to do some decluttering and organizing. It could be clothes, jewelry, trinkets or just about anything. Fill a bag with the items you wish to donate and take it to a second hand charity shop.
Kindness Challenge: Day Ten of Twelve – Say Thank You
Take today to think of the things others have done for you and that you are grateful for. Choose the thing you are most grateful for, it needn’t be something that someone has recently done for you and send them a thank you note. This could be hand written, emailed or even text. Tell them what it meant to you and let them know you appreciated their kindness.
Kindness Challenge: Day Nine of Twelve – Call a Good Friend You Don’t Often Speak With
We all have them. Great friends who – for whatever reason – we don’t often speak to. Friends with busy schedules, kids, hectic careers or even those living far away. Use today as an opportunity to call a friend you love but don’t speak to often and let them know you’re thinking about them.
Kindness Challenge: Day Eight of Twelve – Offer a Lift, Give Up Your Seat or Offer Help
Take a look around on your journey into work today and give up your seat on public transport, offer to give someone a lift or just simply offer help – you could even tell them about your kindness challenge!
Kindness Challenge: Day Seven of Twelve – Book Giveaway
Buy your favorite book or a book you know your friend will like and give it to your friend with a card saying what they mean to you as a surprise (you could do this on Amazon and use the gift wrapping option to write the note).
Kindness Challenge: Day Six of Twelve – Cakes and Coffees with Colleagues
Before lunch at work today buy some biscuits or cakes and offer to make everyone coffee. If you’re feeling particularly brave you could even mention this happiness boosting kindness challenge to them.
Kindness Challenge: Day Five of Twelve – Buy a Family Member Something Thoughtful
Take today to think about family, what you value about them, what they like, their interests and hobbies. Buy them something thoughtful and present it to them with a note about how much you value them or simply sign it thinking of you.
Kindness Challenge: Day Four of Twelve – Pay Someone a Genuine Compliment
As you go about your day today take the time to notice those around you, what qualities you admire in them, whether they look particularly nice or if they have just done a really good job. Then pay them a genuine compliment.
