IntroductionDoing things to help others is not only good for the recipients - it has a positive payback for our happiness and health too. When people experience kindness it also makes them kinder as a result – so kindness is contagious!As the saying goes: "if you want to feel good, do good"Try performing an extra act of kindness each day.The act may be large or small and the recipient may not even be aware of it.Ideally your acts of kindness should be beyond the kind things you already do on a regular basis.Do at least one extra kind act each day for a week, ideally a different one each day.Here are some ideas for acts of kindness:
1. Take time to really listen to someone2. Have a conversation with a stranger3. Pick up litter as you walk4. Let someone in front of you in the supermarket queue5. Tell someone they mean a lot to you6. Offer your change to someone struggling to find the right amount7. Buy cakes or fruit for your colleagues8. Invite your neighbour round for a drink and a chat9.
