15 Acts of Kindness for a Happier Life

Did you know that random acts of kindness can have a big impact on your mood, outlook, and even your health?

We all want to be happy. It's a basic human need that is essential for our overall well-being. But sometimes, we get bogged down by the stress of everyday life and forget how to find happiness within ourselves. If you're looking for a way to add more happiness to your life, here are 15 acts of kindness that you can do every day.

Start adding some happiness to your life today! With each act, you'll have done a lot to make the world a nicer place.

1. Tell a friend or family member you are thinking about them by texting them to ask how they’re doing.

2. If you can afford it or have the time (but only if you can), offer to help someone pro bono in your area of expertise. For example, they could design a logo for a campaign they are working on as a volunteer, teach someone English, or fix simple things around their house.

3. Leave a memorable comment on a friend’s social media post to brighten up their day. Your words may have more impact than you realize.

4. Buy your friend a gift card to their favorite restaurant, cafe, or wellness treatment.

5. Ask a family member if there are any errands you can run for them to lighten their load. Acts of service go a long way!

6. If you’re going to the supermarket, WhatsApp your neighbor and ask if they need anything picked up.

7. Leave a big tip for the waiter or server in your favorite restaurant. The tip could be just what they need to buy lunch, diapers, or groceries.

8. Create a Spotify playlist for your friend to brighten up their day.

9. After your vacation, take a few minutes to leave a review and thank the staff for their hard work. Your feedback will be very helpful to the establishment or business that you are reviewing.

10. Give back to the community by volunteering at a nearby orphanage and bringing smiles to the faces of the kids who live there.

11. Thank the kind employees at the supermarket who disinfect the carts and wipe them down before you leave, and wish them well on their day.

12. Send treats to the people who work in your apartment or office. Your janitor, security guard, and the concierge will appreciate it!

13. Tell your manager or team about the time one of your coworkers went above and beyond to help you out.

14. Provide emotional support by lending a listening ear to friends and family who might be struggling and need to be heard.

15. When someone compliments you or extends kindness to you, accept it with grace. Let yourself soak up random acts of generosity from other people so they can also feel good about being kind in the world.
