Because...why not?
1 - Instead of just thinking nice stuff, say it. If they look great, tell them. If a colleague's idea was pure genuis, say it. Positive reinforcement is powerful, infectious and no one gets enough of it, so be the change.
2 - Be kind to yourself. Do a class in something you've always been interested in, but have always said 'One day I'd love to...'
3 - Plan a night in with a friend who needs a night off.
4 - Write and send a handwritten letter or card to someone you care about or leave a note on a post-it for them to find.
5 - Cook a meal for people you care about.
6 - Go vegetarian or vegan for a few days a week, or try it out for a month. What's the worst that can happen?
7 - Read an inspiring book recently? Give it a positive review online and let the author know you appreciate their work. Even better, gift it to someone else and spread the word.
Books

13 - Make a playlist for a friend. Throwback AND thoughtful.
14 - Tell that person how proud you are of them.
15 - Donate old clothes to a charity shop or take some items to a food bank.

Plants, Planters & Terrariums
17 - Call that person you haven't seen for a while.
18 - Use a reusable travel mug and water bottle.
19 - Plan a surprise for someone. Anything you know they’ll really enjoy or make them happy.
20 - Going for the chop? Donate your hair after a haircut.
21 - Make a cuppa for your team. Doesn’t matter what level you’re at, we all need caffeine and if you want to really bestow an act of kindness, throw in some snacks for no reason. We love doughnuts and cookies here at HQ.
22 - Make a special effort with the newbie at work. We’ve all been there, it’s a tough gig starting somewhere new, so be the welcoming one – make an effort, make sure they’re included and hey, they’ll always remember you for it.
23 - Switch to paperless bills. No brainer.
24 - Donate to a charity that resonates with you.
25- Pay for someone’s morning coffee.
26 - Make a memory scrapbook or picture collage for someone you’ve shared epic times with. More meaningful than a tag online any day.
