November 13 is World Kindness Day, part of the World Kindness Movement’s mission to inspire individuals toward greater kindness by connecting nations to create a kinder world. 😀 ❣️ Japan initiated this not-for-profit movement in 1997, and today at least 35 member nations participate globally. The idea is to remember the power of kindness to bring people together and create a kinder world. Sounds nice, doesn’t it? But does being kind and practicing kindness make a difference? The short answer is “yes.” The longer answer is … ❣️Choosing to be kind(er) With so many benefits, it seems, it’s in everyone’s best interest to promote kindness. Here are some ways to get started in the short term and throughout life. ❣️Do something — One of the best things about being kind is that there are countless ways to do it, so you can choose what feels right for you. Whether it’s a random or intentional act, spontaneous or planned, helping a friend or a stranger in need or with no need, being kind can take seconds or hours, cost money or be free. ❣️ Be welcoming — Help make a positive difference in another person’s day-to-day life by helping them feel seen, safe and welcomed. It can be as simple as greeting a passerby, sitting next to a coworker you don’t know at a team meeting, or introducing yourself to a new neighbor. ❣️Stay curious — Most people want to be treated with kindness and care and to feel included. Yet, what that means varies from person to person. Do your best to treat others as they prefer to be treated and respect personal boundaries. If you’re unsure, ask them. Also do your best to appreciate and make room for people who have different ways of seeing and living in the world. #worldkindnessday #kindness #love
