Welcome to April! With everything going on in the world right now, it can sometimes feel difficult to look on the bright side. This month we are focusing on the positive impacts of kindness here in the office. A Random Act of Kindness can be as simple as smiling at the people you pass on the street, or sending someone a motivational text message or cute picture. Kindness and smiles are contagious, so when someone is kind to you, you are more likely to be kind to someone in return. We love to spread positivity here in the office, and are encouraging our patients to do the same! Even though we are all social distancing, there are still plenty of ways to brighten someone’s day! Here are some ideas of Random Acts of Kindness you can try at home with your friends and family:
- Spend all day saying only nice things
- Plant something
- Send someone you know a picture of a cute animal (or your pet!)
- Arrange to watch a movie at the same time as a friend and video call
- Spend time playing with your pet
- Write friendly chalk messages on the sidewalk
- Tell someone how much you love them
- Donate a meal to a family in need or food bank
- Say hello to everyone you see
- Call a friend or family member you haven’t spoken to in a while
- Send a motivational text to a friend who is struggling
- Pay for the car behind you in the drive through
- Help with a household chore
- Give praise to a colleague for something they’ve done well
- Call or video message your grandparents
- Smile at everyone. It’s contagious!
