Happy World Kindness Day!!!

World Kindness Day is celebrated every year on the 13th of November to remind people around the world to show kindness to one another. It is shown as something that should be done every day, something so simple yet so powerful that could change an individual’s mood within seconds. It is celebrated to highlight and encourage acts of kindness, good deeds, and bring together a community connection, this could be anywhere you can think of such as in public, in workplaces, communal areas, social gatherings, online etc.. 

So why is it sooo important to be kind to other people around you? 

Well, it’s a simple thing that can make someone's day. It can benefit other people’s health, as well as your own. It creates a ripple affect where if you are kind to one person or do a good deed for others, then it will continue to pass on to others. You also need to remember to be kind to yourself as well. 

Kindness has no cost but can carry a lot of value. Being kind to others can make people feel seen, supported and valued, and can even put a smile on their face. Examples of this could be that you offer your neighbour some help with something, show patience to others, offer help to those who may need support at work, help someone in public to show them the correct bus or even asking anyone how they are doing, checking up on friends, family or colleagues.

Remember - to be kind to yourself and everyone around you.
