In a world where you can be anything, be kind

 The power of a simple act of kindness is already within you.

Over the last years, researchers have been studying what has been called “positive psychology,” a research of how uplifting emotions like gratitude, love, joy, and inspiration affect our wellbeing and  improve our lives.

What’s incredible is that these emotions are already within us; it’s just a matter of whether or not we take intentional action to express them.

One of the easiest ways to do this is through performing acts of kindness.

So what is kindness anyway?

Kindness simply put is a positive action that leaves someone in a better situation than they were before.

It doesn’t need to be as big as paying for someone’s house or spending hours volunteering at a homeless centre.

Literally, it can be anything.

• A smile to a stranger at the gym.

• Hold the door open for your colleague.

• Give a compliment.

• Ask someone how are they doing and really listen.

• Call a friend who is alone.

• Forgive.

• Buy a hot drink for a homeless person and have a genuine chat with them.

Even treating yourself to a dinner out, getting a pedicure, or a massage are all acts of kindness.

Yes, that’s right, you can, and should, be kind to yourself too!

So often we hold back from being kind because we don’t know what to do or we don’t think our actions will make an impact, but they do!

What’s important is to just take action no matter how small.
