World Kindness Day
Lisa Hunter • November 13, 2021
Kindness Day was born when a collection of humanitarian groups came together on November 13, 1997, and made a “Declaration of Kindness”. Likewise, on Kindness Day everyone is encouraged to make a similar declaration. Donating books, food, or clothes to your local community is a great way to celebrate.
However, pledging to commit just one act of kindness is no less worthwhile: hold the door open for a stranger, compliment your neighbour on their collection of garden gnomes, let your partner have control of the TV remote for the evening.
The reason for World Kindness Day is detailed by the World Kindness Movement. “to highlight good deeds in the community focusing on the positive power and the common thread of kindness which binds us.”
Activities You Could Get Involved In On Kindness Day
The trend with this day is for you to commit around three random acts of kindness to others. Some of the activities you could do include:
- Giving compliments - Smile at strangers passing by, hold open a door, give up your seat on public transport, or compliment someone sincerely on something they have done or have changed such as wearing a new top or new haircut. Even these small gestures are a nice way of showing kindness to others.
- Write a love letter or poem- This is a great one for your significant other half. We can often take them for granted so show your kindness in a letter or poem.
- Give a gift to let people know you’re thinking of them, flowers are always a good way to brighten some day… check out the range available right here at Moss End Garden Village, as well as the many other gifts available.
World Kindness Day gives you the perfect opportunity to get creative with your ideas. There are many ways you can celebrate and join in with sharing kindness with others.
