𝗙𝗲𝗯𝗿𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝟭𝟳𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝘀 𝑹𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒐𝒎 𝑨𝒄𝒕𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝑲𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝑫𝒂𝒚!

Research shows that acts of kindness 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿, reducing stress, improving mood, and enhancing overall mental health. Kind behavior stimulates the release of hormones like oxytocin and serotonin, promoting happiness and trust.

We invite you to observe this wholesome celebration by partaking in some extra acts of good will. These can be big or small — anywhere from offering someone a fun treat or simply letting that extra person merge in stressful traffic (we all know how far that can go in the right moment!). Here are a few ideas to get you started:

📝 Write a handwritten note saying thank you, you're awesome, etc.
📗 Donate a book to a Little Free Library, a friend, or for someone to pick up at the office!
📃 Leave positive sticky notes around for people to enjoy as pick-me-ups
☕ Get someone a coffee or treat
🥛 Refill something for someone (water pitcher, their car, etc.)
💲 Pay ahead for the next person (at the gas pump, drive thru, etc.)

𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 envisions a healthy and supportive society where everyone achieves mental, physical, spiritual and social well-being. That's what today is all about!
