This post was originally written in June 2020 when we were in the depths of the pandemic, but its advice is still pertinent.
Kindness is possibly even more valuable during our turbulent times – acts of kindness range from my husband’s famous “Say hello, dummy” exhortation to leaving a painted rock in someone’s mailbox.
What if you can’t think of a random act of kindness?
Fortunately, there is a website with dozens of ideas for acts of kindness in case you can’t think of one – the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation. If you’re better motivated by reporting your actions online, Kindlab has fewer immediately visible suggestions but a ton of research and the ability to report that you’ve performed one of the acts.
