1. Leave Kind Notes

Take a couple of minutes to write uplifting notes to strangers. They could be messages like "I'm proud of you" or "You're doing great". Then put them in public places like library books or public restrooms for strangers to find. These small notes may be the thing that makes someone smile today.

2. Buy a Coffee for the Person Behind You

Paying for someone's morning coffee is a great way to start the day. If it has ever happened to you then you know how big of a smile it puts on your face. It's a simple gesture that can create a ripple effect of kindness that will spread throughout the day.

3. Donate to a Local Charity

You can also support your community by donating to a local charity. If money is a little tight right now and you can't afford to, try donating some time and volunteering. You can volunteer at most charitable organizations, as well as community centers and libraries. No matter how you contribute, you can make a meaningful impact on the world around you.

If this is on your list of things to do today, consider buying a pink shirt for our Its Kool To Be Kind Campaign. All Proceeds go to supporting New Path…  Free Mental Health Services for Children and Youth, their Families and Caregivers Because Mental Health Can’t Wait.

4. Compliment a Stranger

A genuine compliment can brighten anyone's day. So take the time to compliment a stranger on their outfit, smile, or a positive trait. Your words may boost their confidence and leave a lasting impact.

5. Send a Thoughtful Text

Reach out to friends or family with a thoughtful text letting them know how much you appreciate them. Letting your loved ones know that you're thinking of them will for sure make someone smile today!

6. Create Care Packages for the Homeless

This one requires a little more thought than the other items on the list but is really impactful. 

Try putting together a care package for someone in need. You can create a basket with essential items like food, water, or warm clothing. Once you've put a few together, head out and give them to someone in need. And while you're at it, take some time to chat and get to know the person. 

By letting someone share their story you'll make them feel valued, and that feeling can go a long way.

7. Offer to Help a Neighbor

Take some time to check in on your neighbours today. It could be your direct neighbour or the lovely old couple that lives down the road. Take the time to chat with them, help them with their groceries, or offer to take their dog for a walk. 

By doing things like this you'll build a sense of community and develop a stronger connection.

8. Plant Seeds of Positivity Online

Spread positivity on social media by sharing uplifting messages, quotes, or images. There's so much negativity online, a positive post might be exactly what someone needs to read.

9. Surprise a Coworker

This one is a little tough on a Saturday. But if you work on weekends, or have a coworker that does, leave a nice note for them to see in the morning or stop by with a coffee on their lunch break. 

Simple acts of kindness in the workplace are a great way to create a more positive environment.

10. Share Your Art

If you're an artistic person, share it with the world! 

You could paint some rocks with inspirational messages, or create uplifting sidewalk chalk art. By giving people something pretty to look at you could remind them that there is a lot of beauty in the world.

11. Donate Books to a Free Library

Contribute to the joy of reading by donating books to a free library in your neighborhood. Sharing books is a wonderful way to promote learning and bring happiness to others.
