Random acts of kindness is simply doing something nice for someone else, without them asking you to or you expecting something in return.
When you do something nice a chemical called Oxytocin is released in your brain. It’s the love hormone! It makes us feel happier, healthier, calmer and have an increased self-worth. It’s also just lovely to make someone else’s day by thinking about them and helping them out.
Some ideas of random acts of kindness to help you get started are:
- Pay the first two people you interact with today a compliment
- Donate to a charity or take some things to a charity shop
- Share a positive message on your socials (check out the HATW instagram for some inspiration!)
- Smile genuinely at 5 people you pass today
- Write a review of some good customer service you’ve had from a business
- Reach out to a friend
- Say hello to someone in school (or work) that you haven’t spoken to before. Ask them how their day is going.
- Offer to buy someones coffee or lunch behind you in the que
- Send a care package to someone you know who is going through a tough time.
It’s important that if someone does something for you, that you pay it forward too and keep the cycle going. Kindness is cool!
