Here Are 35 Little Acts Of Kindness That You Should Always Practice.
- Let us start from the easiest, give someone a nice and thoughtful compliment. It doesn’t require much effort and it can make someone’s lousy day.
- Babysit for free for someone you know, who has been losing sleep and their very precious self-care day.
- Wash your and your family’s dishes for a whole day. It is effortless, really.
- Give a nice and affordable tip. The bit of penny that you add in the tip can seem zilch for your heavy pocket but can mean a substantial amount for someone else.
- Become an organ donor, TODAY! And be promised to live even after you are gone.
- Plant a new tree. This is the simplest and most benevolent thing you can do for yourself and the budding environment.
- Pack your leftover meal (and of your family) and distribute it among the people who might need it. This way, not only you are sustaining but also feeding the stomachs of many.
- Give a paid holiday to your maid. They deserve it, and you know it.
- Spend time with your grandparents. Or if you don’t live with them, just have a mundane conversation with an elderly person that you come across.
- Pick up the garbage and scarps from the street and prop them in the designated dustbin.
- Help your parents in doing the household chores. Just don’t argue here, please.
- And wait, while you are helping them with the chores, bake something for them and your peers or colleagues.

- Don’t be a lazy peep and ditch your seat in the metro or the local train, for someone else.
- Prepare ‘Thank You’ notes for all your day-to-day helpers. Your gardener, driver, security guard, shopkeeper, etc.
- Just listen to someone’s problems and struggles and let them share their heart out. It is the least and yet the most hallowed thing you can provide.
- Learn urgent medical techniques, such as CPR, and or how to help someone when they are choking.
- Tell someone weird yet hysterical joke. The weirder, the better.
- While scrolling down on any social media app, comment down something really motivating and fervent on any stranger’s page.

- Feed some strays and play with them, every day. By doing this, you will also be rewarded with their loyalty and adoration.
