With so many negative and sad things happening globally, I think every day should be National Random Acts of Kindness Day, but the official day is next Tuesday, February 20th. A random act of kindness is giving your best self to someone without wanting anything in return. It could be a good deed, a compliment, or a small gift. Studies have shown that being kind to others makes them feel good and positively affects your health by releasing hormones that contribute to your mood and well-being. One small act of kindness can ripple effect as others pay it forward. Here are some easy ways to spread kindness to celebrate the holiday or just because.
I hope this resource is helpful and gives you some ideas on paying it forward with random acts of kindness!

You, my friend, are the kindest soul. What a sweet list. I try to do these things as often as I can. xo
I know nothing makes me feel better than when I can make someone else feel good. I try to be kind every day but it will be fun to do a little bit more on the 20th.
These are such wonderful ideas! Our neighbors clear the entire block’s sidewalk every time it snows and I am SO GRATEFUL! I walk my daughter to school and appreciate it each time!
I bought the car behind me Starbucks last week and it felt so good! 🙂 I love little acts of kindness and we should all practice this every single day!

If we had more kindness in this world, it would be a happier place. This is a beautiful post, Jill! I’m a happy person by nature and have actually done some of the items on the list. I would add when you’re walking and catch someone’s eye, smile at them. 🙂

Lots of great kindness reminders! Pinned.
This has to be one of my favorite all-time posts. Going to pin it everywhere. What a thoughtful list of EASY acts of kindness. Love the idea of donating coloring books to the children’s hospital. I have taken my scrapbook paper to the Y. And need to do that again. Must multiple in my drawers!
Love donating a piece of clothing for every new piece you buy, the giving leftovers to the homeless, money on the vending machine. I like to pay people’s parking meters and am due to go downtown to do that.
Absolutely love this post, my thoughtful friend.
So many great reminders, all of which would totally make someone’s whole day <3

I live this idea of random acts of kindness. I think I am going to take a bit of a different spin on it and maybe with my kids choose one a month to do for others. Also, thank you and the ladies for the giveaway I am a lucky lady to have win one of the watches. I am beyond excited and thankful!
This is such a beautiful list dear! Indeed, it doesn’t cost a thing to be kind.

I love the whole random acts of kindness concept! It makes others feel good, but you feel too yourself for making someone happy. I wish more did it though xo

I just love random acts of kindness and the difference they can make. I really enjoyed reading your list for new ideas and I am happy to say I do quite a few of these on a regular basis. I have been making a point of complimenting strangers when it is sincere and it’s amazing to see how they just light up! Now that I know tomorrow is the official holiday I will have to make sure to do something unexpected. Thanks so much for sharing on the Monday Runway, Jill!
You know you are totally speaking my language here, Jill! I love all of your RAK ideas, too. There are so many small things that we can do every day to make others feel special and loved. Such a great post! Thanks for sharing and linking up!
