November is a perfect month to spread kindness! World Kindness Day recently occurred on November 13, and Random Act of Kindness Friday occurs on November 29. Both of these days are sponsored by the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation, a nonprofit that, in their own words, is “looking to make kindness the norm.”
From our office climate to our direct daily interaction with people, kindness not only motivates but helps others unlock the potential inside themselves. Kindness is central to making any positive difference, and we commend everyone who is making positive contributions.
We wanted to share some ideas you can utilize to spread your own kindness. Try putting some of the following acts of kindness ideas to work and put a big smile on a few faces!

Always being kind, no matter the person or situation, is a simple way to dramatically improve our world. The best thing about it is that being kind requires no rules, laws, or government regulation. It’s a way for humanity to take back … well … our humanity. We as individuals can lead by example and maybe, just maybe, those who lead our communities, organizations, and countries will follow suit, showing that in the end, all that really matters is how kind we are to each other.

In this article we look at why Fierce Kindness is so important if we want to make a difference in our world! We also look at how self-acceptance and kindness are relevant not only to our personal growth—but for making positive societal change. Journaling prompts are also included to explore these ideas more deeply!
As I get older, I’m becoming increasingly spiritual. Inner peace is an important goal for me, which brings with it a focus on non-judgement, self-acceptance and kindness. My religion these days, is kindness.
But what has become equally important is courage, determination and perseverance. Together, these form Fierce Kindness.

What is it about kindness that makes it such an invaluable commodity in our world?
When we give out kindness, there is no physical exchange. We can’t see it coming out of us, nor can we see it being accepted. However, there is something about kindness that warms our world and makes it glow a little brighter – as if when we bear witness to it, a sun rises inside of us.
Why is it then, that with all the good that comes from kindness, it is often all too hard to do? When it feels easier to be rude, to be cruel, or to snap; that’s when it takes courage to be kind. Sometimes the decision to be kind takes all the strength we can muster. It seems that all too often our default setting is negativity. Yet no matter how hard it may be to convince yourself to be kind, once it’s done, kindness is something you will never regret giving out. We need to find a way to be braver in kindness.

The art of sharing
Kindness means many things to many people, and one is giving others the gift of compassion. I’ve always donated bags of clothing to charity stores, but I wanted to do something different on my kindness mission: to give to a women’s shelter.After a few phone calls, what I discovered was heartbreaking: many women seek refuge in these shelters with little more than the clothes on their backs. I was told they desperately needed warm winter clothing and I also included some preloved toys in the care package. For obvious reasons, the locations of these women are always a carefully guarded secret and, in what felt like a clandestine operation, I rendez-vous’d with them in the carpark of a fast-food restaurant, where the donation was exchanged for a heartfelt thankyou.
Passing along things you no longer need is indeed an easy way to share kindness with others. A friend in Sydney reads books and then leaves them out front of her unit with a note for passers-by to take them, enjoy them and pass them on. Now I do the same.

How many times have you thought about changing the world but cried in frustration because it’s such a big job? Simple acts of selfless giving can go a long way to making our communities, and even our small planet, better.

Does kindness differ across cultures?
Kindness is the simple act of helping someone. It can be as simple as paying a compliment, or getting someone a coffee.
In honor of World Kindness Day (Nov 13th), we talked to people from six different societies to explore the different ways kindness is interpreted and expressed around the world. We found that although kindness is valued everywhere in the world, its specific definition, and the acts that are viewed as kind, sometimes differ from country to country. Here are some specifics:

Kindness character building lessons
Plus the suggested searches down bottom of page.
For example -
When I started planning my Character Education units, I knew I wanted to start with Kindness. It’s typically pretty easy for students to understand and make real-life connections. Before students are ready to talk about things like self-control and mindfulness, they need to be comfortable talking about their feelings. Kindness is a great place to start your social-emotional curriculum and I’m excited to share some of my favorite ideas with you!

If you have a few spare weeks for reading?
Here is a 480-page pdf document all about love and what is happening with humanity. Love gets mentioned at least 1900 times!
Compared with only 4 times for the word kindness but I felt like posting it anyways!
