What qualifies as a "Random Act of Kindness"?
There are many actions that can be
Random Acts of Kindness!
***************
Here are a few ideas
to help you get started on your own path
to contributing to the world with
Random Acts of Kindness:
Listening to someone who needs a person to talk to and not
paying attention to how much time you are spending, before they are finished talking.
Asking someone if they could use some help with something in their life that is difficult for them to accomplish, on their own. This could be helping them unload their groceries, preparing a meal, folding their laundry, or checking on them regularly.
Paying attention to the people around you and noticing when they are not as happy as usual or having a difficult day, then offering your time to listen and/or support.
Surprising someone, unexpectedly, with something you know they would love (that does not have to cost money). Usually, all it takes is a little creativity and a few minutes of your time. This could be as simple as getting something for them while you are up, or going that way, to surprising them with something like a blanket, warm cup of coffee, or retrieving the mail for them.
Doing the unexpected simply by making an extra batch of cookies or doubling a meal recipe, then delivering it to them when it is convenient to you. They will be shocked, surprised, and happy to have the relief of having something homemade that they did not have to dream up and prepare themselves. The thought of that kind act, will resonate long into the future.
These are but a few examples of Random Acts of Kindness, but I am sure you can come up with your own unique ideas that easily fit into your normal everyday life.
Notice that the examples that I gave all begin with an action word: Listening, acting, paying attention, surprising, and doing the unexpected.
What can you think of that would qualify as a
Random Act of Kindness?
