KINDNESS WEEK

Random Acts of Kindness is celebrated this week on the 17th of February! Are you excited? I am! Personally, I agree to celebrate kindness at least for one week instead of just for one day. We have more time and space to share more kindness with people around us and the environment as well. Of course, we have to practise kindness every single day but have a special week to celebrate it hits differently!
Being kind or helping others is good for our mental health and well-being. It feels good to see the smiles and hear how the person we help or being kind to express their gratitude. Also, can reduce stress and improve mood and bring happiness to us.
Here are some ideas to celebrate kindness week:

1. Compliment three people you talk to each day
2. Write a gratitude email or note to a coworker who deserves more recognition each day
3. Email or text a former teacher who made a difference in your life once a day
4. Call your parents! Tell them how much they mean in your life
5. Call or leave a voice memo to someone who brings happiness into your life 
6. Leave a 'have a great day' note on someone's car in a parking lot
7. Make two lunches and give one to someone
8. Give biscuits or cookies to a neighbour or your landlord
9. Support a local restaurant and give a tip
10. Buy flowers or your favourite food because you deserve it! Being kind to other people is important but being kind to yourself should be your priority.

Happy Kindness Week!
