Rebel by Being Kind: Join us for Kindness Week!

Published: Mon, 02/17/20

Hi ,

How are you doing? I'm excited because it's "Random Acts of Kindness" week. We live in a world where being independent, wealthy and successful are often seen as more important than being kind. But what is a world without kindness?

It's those moments where we offer (or receive) kindness that make our world a better place. And when you're kind in a situation where kindness is unusual or unexpected, you are a role model - becoming the change we ALL wish to see in the world. Kindness can indeed be a rebellious act.

Plus, Kindness is good for us:

1. It makes us happier, raising our levels of oxytocin (feel good hormone).

2. Performing an act of Kindness can lower our blood pressure.

3. Kindness makes us feel more connected to our life and the people in it.

4. Kindness spreads - one unexpected kind act often leads to another and so on...

Let's rebel against the culture of rugged individualism - and our habits of self-criticism - to create deeper connections with ourselves, others and our world!

I'd love it if you joined me in committing to 3 "Random Acts of Kindness" this week!

Need some ideas? Here are a few easy "Random Acts of Kindness":

Email a colleague and remind them how awesome they are.
Buy coffee - or lunch! - for the person in line behind you.
Give someone (or yourself!) flowers or a plant, just "because".
Make a donation to a charity that has meaning for you.
Take the afternoon off and do whatever you feel like (creating a connection to yourself with self-kindness!)
