The first celebration of this day took place in Singapore, and it has since been observed in many countries worldwide. Major events on this day often involve the distribution of "kindness cards" with acts of kindness written on them or events that promote good deeds, community service, and charitable actions. The ultimate goal of these activities is to create a ripple effect of kindness in societies across the globe.
Start your day with a meditation on kindness. Create your first kindness action card and work on it. Here are some of ours:
- Give your friends some useful tips to save money. Sharing Knowledge
- Share a recipe that can bring joy.
- Read a story for children.
- Next time talking to someone, just listen. Listening Actively
- Reach out to someone who’s going through a tough time, or someone you haven't heard from in a while, and ask how they're doing. Checking In
- Do a chore or run an errand for a friend or family member without them asking you to do so. Acts of Service
- Leave a positive note for a stranger. Random Acts of Kindness
- Show kindness by forgiving someone who has wronged you and moving on, even if they haven't asked for forgiveness. Forgiveness
