Get Better

1. Be genuine.

Sincerity is essential. When you compliment someone or say thanks, do so in a real way. That’s because being real not only makes your words sound more powerful but also makes you feel more connected. 2. Start small.

Kindness doesn’t require grand gestures. It is the seemingly insignificant acts such as opening a door or giving a hand. Never forget that everything nice, no matter how insignificant, has a ripple effect. 3. Set daily intentions.

Make it a goal to be kind each morning. Consider putting a note on your bathroom mirror to give you a reminder. When you create a daily target for being kind, there’s a greater chance you’ll achieve it. 4. Practice gratitude.

Gratitude is an excellent practice for kindness. Find a few minutes to celebrate what is going right in your life and give others credit. 5. Find your passion.

When you do things you feel passionate about, you’ll naturally feel kindness toward those around you. 6. Prioritize self-care.

To be kind to others you have first to be kind to yourself. Stay self-aware and prioritize the things you can do that will be healthy for your body, mind, and spirit. 7. Smile more.
