    10 Easy Acts of Kindness!

     

    According to the Random Acts of Kindness foundation (RAK), performing just one act of kindness per day can reduce stress and anxiety- for you and the person you help. Kindness doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are 10 easy ways to start down a kinder path.

    1. Replace one complaint with a compliment each day
    2. Pay for the person behind you in the drive through
    3. Use a meal donation service to give a friend a week off from kitchen duty
    4. Send a nice email or letter
    5. Impressed with someone’s work? Let his or her manager know
    6. Donate worn towels and blankets to an animal shelter
    7. Give up a prime parking spot in a crowded lot
    8. Smile– it’s contagious!
    9. Leave your server or barista a generous tip
    10. Tuck an encouraging note into a random book in the library
