Making other people feel good feels good, and, best of all it requires little more than a generous heart. Studies show that people feel happier when they do something kind for another person, and both recipients and good deed doers can get the benefits. It can't be a smarter idea to create this World Kindness Day.
Learn a friend's language.
Picking up a bit of a friend or co-worker's first language and speaking it with them show them you care about and take an interest in their experiences. Making someone feel included and respected will feel a greater sense of belonging, an essential component of happiness.
Reaching out to someone for the first time in a long time can be an instant remedy for whatever troubles you. It's as simple as a text, a note or a FaceTime call. Let someone know you're thinking of them, even after some time apart. Studies suggest strong bonds can improve physical health, too.
Genuinely praise someone.
A respectful comment that comes from the heart about someone's unique hairstyle, excellent performance in a concert or their great solution to a problem at work might be all it takes to improve someone's mood.
Collect trash you see around your neighborhood.
Picking up trash-and recyclables off the street beautifies your community and benefits the environment. The environment can't clean itself, after all!
