It’s Cool to Be Kind

I think we can all agree that 2020 has been an absolute rollercoaster. We’ve all had to rapidly adjust to a different way of living and for many of us, it’s been tough. That said, there has never been a year more in need of World Kindness Day than this one.

World Kindness Day is an annual celebration of one the most important and unifying qualities of the human condition. It serves to bring awareness to the incredible power of kind acts, no matter how small, promoting positivity, compassion and love throughout communities. Because when we practice kindness, we bring people together and collectively build a better world.

What’s more, showing and receiving kindness not only makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside, but actually improves our overall wellbeing. That’s because wellness is not just about nourishing the body, it’s about nourishing the soul as well. As massive advocates for wellness, this is just the cherry on top.

If you are stumped for ideas this World Kindness Day, we have curated a lovely little list below of kind acts that you can easily action today.
