51 Random Acts of Kindness to Practice

We always advise our friends to stay calm, keep it light, and always smile. But the question is, what do we do to help them and others do such?

Dennis Prager, an American journalist, said, ” Goodness is about character – integrity, honesty, kindness, generosity, moral courage, and the like. More than anything else, it is about how we treat other people.”

What a beautiful statement! It reminds us that in a nutshell, how we treat other people makes our character’s good. So, I gathered sweet yet straightforward random acts of kindness to practice. Let’s dig into them. Make everyone happy, and let’s spread the love! Shall we?

My Takeaway!

My ultimate favorites are giving compliments, giving a tip (especially today, delivery guys are always ready to deliver our essentials and other orders during this time of pandemic), practicing CLAYGO, supporting my choice of charity, and being kind to myself, especially when making silly mistakes professionally or personally.

Random acts of kindness are powerful means of boosting one other’s wellbeing. It also allows us to be free from isolation, selfishness, and self-obsession. Act of kindness brings us together and promotes positive vibes around us. It helps us connect and nurture a healthier relationship with one another. Act of kindness fosters empathy.

The exciting part is, it releases a happy hormone called oxytocin that helps modulate social interactions and emotion — the higher your oxytocin levels, the more generous you may be.
