With stress from classes and everyday life bogging people down, it is easy to get stuck in the "weekday blues." But, I have found that there are a few little things that can change the outcome of someone’s day. To put it plainly, the little things matter.
1. It's as Easy as "Good Morning"
It is has been proven that smiling is contagious. Take the time to send a smile, a wave, or a "good morning" to those you encounter throughout your day. When you are walking to class, buying breakfast, or simply driving out of your neighborhood, it is almost guaranteed
that this small act of kindness will impact the individual on the recieving end of your kind gesture.2. The Midday Text
A text message can take all of 30 seconds to compose, and a message as simple as,"Hey friend, thinking of you today!" can be sent on your way to class, or between tasks that you have to complete throughout your day. This simple act of kindness is a way to brighten up someone's day!
3. Holding the Door
It is so easy to just walk through a door and keep going. However, the person behind you will greatly appreciate it if you just take a few extra seconds to hold the door for them!
4. Passing Notes Isn't Just for Middle Schoolers
No, I don't mean check "yes" or "no" notes. I mean
little notes that can be left on someone's car, on a binder, or even a note that can be hand delivered directly to someone. I can't even begin to tell you how much its makes my day to receive
little notes from my friends that simply say "have a great
day".
5. Hugs Matter
People sadly forget that a hug is a small gesture of caring that can make someone feel loved!
I challenge you to spread kindness to those around you. The little things often times have the greatest impact on someone's day!
