More about Random Acts of Kindness
Today's suggestion for Random Acts of Kindness Week is to bring a treat to work, or school, or your neighbor. And remember, it doesn't have to be a fatty or sweet thing. You can bring fruit, or a veggie tray, nuts, or another healthy treat.
I already mentioned how good an act of kindness can be for your own health. It turns out there is quite a bit of research about the health benefits of practicing kindness. It can actually reduce stress, increase your sense of well-being, and actually extend your life span--and that is when you practice kindness. Think of all the benefits for the person to whom you are being kind, and for your kids, when they learn to practice kindness as well.
What kindness are you going to practice today?
