It is Random Acts of Kindness Day today (17 February 2022). This is a day to think about how you could do something nice for someone else just for the purposes of making them smile and brightening up their day.
Some ideas for you:
- Find out something new about a co-worker. What is their favourite film / song / book?
- Drink more water or enjoy a treat as an act of kindness to yourself!
- Write a letter or send a postcard to someone, everyone loves to receive post that isn’t a bill!
- Compliment a stranger – tell them you like their outfit, hair, or shoes! Or compliment a colleague for something great they have done recently.

Becca and I both like to crochet in our spare time and there is a Facebook community called ‘Random Acts of Crochet Kindness’ where people hide small things out in different places for people to find. Unlike some of social media, it is a lovely feel-good page to read through and see what people have made and what it means to the people who have found them. Becca and I hid some of the things we have made this week, and we have put together a video to tell you about it.
I hope these ideas have inspired you to complete a random act of kindness today or at some point in the future!
