Pay It Forward

 

February 13-19 is Random Acts of Kindness Week.  Pay it forward and help both you and someone else.

Random acts of kindness provide endorphin rushes, which lower your stress level, boost your immune system, lower depression rates, and calms anger.

Do something for someone… hold a door open, pick up trash, buy a friend a cup of coffee.  Here are other ideas from The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation:

  • Offer a couple hours of free babysitting
  • Donate used books to a library
  • Donate to the homeless
  • Wash a friend’s car
  • Rake your neighbor’s yard
  • Transport someone who can’t drive
  • Play a sport with a child or teen
  • Bring flowers to someone
  • Say something nice
  • Give someone a hug.

Practice random acts of kindness and pay it forward.
