Whether you know someone well or you don't know them at all, you can easily make someone's day even a tiny bit better with a small act of kindness. You never know when one could really need some extra happiness! Try to incorporate these simple ideas into your life and see the difference you can make.
1. Smile!
Sharing a smile is easy, quick, and sure to make someone feel happy and acknowledged.
2. Compliment Someone's Appearance
3. Compliment Someone On Anything At All
Whether one is complimented on their personality, talent, or achievements, they're sure to feel happy afterward.
4. Talk To Someone If They Seem Lonely
If you see someone with nobody to talk to, introduce yourself! It'll mean the world to them and you'll feel great yourself afterward for making someone happy.
5. Hold Open A Door
Holding open a door (to a room or a car) is a simple way to help someone out and make their life a little bit easier.
6. "I Love You"
Send your loved ones a text or write a note just saying "I love you!" Sometimes we forget to tell people that we love them and giving that little reminder can create an instant smile.
7. Be Polite And Respectful
Say please and thank you! These short phrases can go a long way in making someone feel appreciated and respected, and they say a lot about your character.
8. Offer Help To Someone In Need
Whether your friend needs help carrying her books to class or your fellow climber needs a hand to get to the top of the mountain, offering help can make someone's life so much easier and ultimately bring them happiness.
9. Pay It Forward
Paying it forward is an fun and fulfilling way to make someone happy! When you pay for your meal somewhere, put in some extra money and pay for the next person's meal as well. You could even start a chain reaction!
10. Surprise Gift!
Surpise your friends and family with small gifts! These don't need to be expensive; just give a little something to show your love and appreciation. This sweet surprise is sure to please.
11. Just Listen
Don't just look like you're listening when someone talks to you; actually listen. Pay attention to your friend's story and your family member's bad day at work. They want to be acknowledged and by intently listening, you can make them feel loved and heard (which will make them happy!)
