Next week, February 15th – 21st – is Random Acts of Kindness week and we are challenging everyone to do some good deeds in their community and see what you get in return.
Numerous studies have shown that doing a good deed for someone else makes you “feel good” and reduces stress – and couldn’t we all use some less stress these days!
Think about it, if you challenged everyone you knew either at work, on Twitter, via Facebook or like I am on our blog to do one or two random acts of kindness next week your “world” would benefit health wise – both physically and mentally.
And when I say random, I mean little things like:
- Wave someone in when merging into traffic and smile
- Help a neighbor shovel their sidewalk/driveway
- Give blood
- Celebrate your co-workers – so often we only celebrate or acknowledge our co-workers when they’re leaving the company
- Give everyone you see the gift of your smile
- Write praising / thank you notes to your spouse, kids, boss and/or employees
- Renew an old friendship – maybe reach out to someone on Facebook
So next week, act on every single thought of generosity that arises spontaneously in your heart, and notice what happens as a consequence.
I’ll be posting the Cramer teams’ Random Acts of Kindness all next week here on our blog, on our Facebook page & via Twitter.
MJ2 Team here’s your pong, tell us what Random Acts of Kindness you do next week!
