| Feeling grumpy? Grab a coffee or snack, but don’t stop there. Pay it forward to the next person in line, or bring back an extra treat to share. According to kindness.org’s collaboration with Oxford researchers, kindness is an action, not a feeling. Grumpy people can do it. Even grinches can do it. And since kindness boosts well-being and happiness, your grumpy or grinchy heart may just grow a few sizes as a result. |

| Even when we know people’s names, why do we go for days without using them? By using someone’s name, you help them feel seen and acknowledged — and that’s an act of kindness. According to kindness.org’s research in collaboration with the University of Oxford, doing a kind act increases happiness, well-being, trust and compassion. And it can have the same powerful effect on those who receive the act. Try it, and put a smile on both your faces. |

| Spend part of your lunch hour in line? Put yourself in the shoes of the barista or cashier helping you and take the opportunity to ask them how they’re doing. According to a kindness.org study in collaboration with the University of Oxford, witnessing kind acts also boosts well-being. Extending kindness to strangers in a public place can impact the mood of everyone around you —and spark more kind acts. |
