Kindness matters. Yes it does.
I am beginning a little kindness campaign at inkhappi beginning Today! I have been sharing some back to school posts lately and I find this subject to be be so appropriate for this time of year. In fact this topic is appropriate ANY time of year. Kindness matters.Yes it does. I hear stories all of the time that break my heart where if a little kindness was implemented it could of changed a whole situation from a negative to a positive. I’d like to help by sharing a few posts to bring some awareness to some things we can do ourselves, set an example of, or teach others to do that may help make a difference!
Last year I shared a post on kindness and random acts of kindness. You can find that post HERE. It was an awesome posts and I shared some free prints that were no longer available and I am bringing them back today! They are available in 4 colors, I hope you will download and print your favorites and share them for others to see as a reminder to be kind.

Now, I thought I’d share 20 simple things we could do everyday that could spread kindness. These are things that start with each one of us individually and can help us be more aware of others through kinder and gentler eyes. At the same time, it could have a tremendous impact for the good toward someone else. I starts with 1 simple thing. That thing musy continue throught each day to really generate kindness and “happi”ness. Have you guessed it yet? Yep. A…
S M I L E 🙂
Here is what I came up with…
- Smile
- Say a friendly hello to a stranger
- Sincerely compliment someone
- FAVORS: hold a door, pick up or carry something, etc.
- Smile
- Say I love you to someone you love
- HUG someone
- HIGH FIVE someone
- THANK someone
- Smile
- Contribute 10 or more minutes to a good cause
- Give something to someone (food, $, Flower, etc)
- Do anonymous favor for family member or friend
- Make someone laugh
- Smile
- Defend someone
- Express concern for someone with needs
- Talk to someone shy or lacking confidence
- “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”
- SMILE (:
See How that smile carries throughout. Has a smile from a stranger ever had an impact on your day? That would be a YES from me!
I am also sharing a free print of this list too!

Kindness is the easiest thing to share but often the one thing we don’t.
So true Tracey. I think we just need to make it more of a habit and children need to be taught kindness!
OOOOOOOh I love those colors and such a great statement, if only people would remember to do that.

I used those same words in another post i did about kindness last year Cori! “How could someone be so mean”? So I believe in this message. 🙂
I’ve already printed out your 20 SimpleThings for my girls. These are all fantastic, as usual! Thank you!!
