Random Acts of Kindness

One of my personal 2024 goals is to be a happier person. Being a happier person is a pretty broad goal, so I created smaller actionable steps that will lead me to being happier. One of my actionable steps is to engage in a random act of kindness at least once per month.

This post is meant to share random act of kindness ideas in hopes that this speaks to at least one reader's soul!

Random Acts of Kindness:

1. Buy someone a coffee

2. Pay for the car behind you in drive through

3. Text someone you haven't talk to in a while and let them know you're thinking about them

4. Send a kind message to someone who needs it

5. Send an appreciation message to someone who deserves it

6. Bring a friend their favorite snack

7. Send a sick friend or family member a care package

8. Offer to provide childcare for a friend who needs a break

9. Hand a stranger a gas station gift card

10. Buy a gift card to a restaurant and leave it somewhere with a note for a stranger to find

11. Keep a stack of thank you cards in your vehicle and hand them out to people providing a service to you (gas station cashiers, drive thru employees, restaurant servers, etc.)

12. Donate money to charity

13. Give homeless person a meal, blanket, backpack, care products, money, etc.

14. Leave a kind note in a stranger's car windshield

15. Donate money to a random GoFundMe account

This list can go on forever, but I'll stop here. If you decided to engage in one of these acts, please comment on my post and let me know which one! If you have other ideas of kindness not on my list, feel free to share below as well!
