Practice Random Acts of Kindness This Holiday Season
The Holistic Moms Network (HMN) is wrapping up its 10th anniversary celebration with one more Holistic Living Challenge. Every month since January, HMN has offered monthly challenges, great prizes, and opportunities to learn and inspire others. With December being the month we most often associate with the season of giving, this month’s challenge is “Practice Random Acts of Kindness.” Get involved and share your experience for a chance to win an annual membership to the Holistic Moms Network (valued at $45)! Here are some ideas to get you started:
- Give care packs to the homeless. Put together a package containing things like toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, deodorant, food, clothes, a blanket, and other necessities. Keep it in the trunk of your car and give it to a homeless person the next time you see one.
– Shovel someone’s sidewalk. Get up bright and early after it snows and surprise a neighbor by shoveling their walk.
– Let someone go in front of you in line. Moms with squiggly toddlers and fussy babies are especially appreciative of this simple gesture.
– Pay for the next person in line. If you’re getting a coffee or tea, pay for the drink for the person behind you at the same time.
– Be generous with compliments – especially with people who likely don’t hear them often enough. Tell your school janitor or garbage man you appreciate the service he performs. Tell the receptionist at the doctor’s office thanks for always being so helpful.
– Get others involved. Talk to your children about practicing random acts of kindness and ask them what they’d feel comfortable doing. Tell friends and family about your ideas and experiences and encourage them to join in.
