I decided to switch it up a little this time. I talked before about how a lack of time is a big issue for some when it comes to getting involved. If you’re one of those people, I have a challenge for you.
For the next 25 days, perform one random act of kindness per day.
It can be anything you choose, big or small. I read another person’s blog on here who took the challenge from Dec. 1-25 and got some good ideas for it. This blog shows some examples. It’s a good alternative for people with limited time. Even the smallest gesture of kindness counts. Not only will you make someone else feel good, but you’ll make yourself feel good and in turn, it may create a domino effect. Once you do something nice for someone, they may consciously or subconsciously do the same for someone else.
If you choose, keep track of your acts in a journal. I’ll be updating you all on my random acts and I hope you do the same.
Can you remember the last time someone (even a stranger) did something nice for you?
I've toyed with the idea of starting a red nose club at Beaver (http://www.clubs.psu.edu/up/clownnoseclub/). One of the requirements of belonging would be random acts of kindness.

I love this idea!! I have done random acts of kindness, but it would be great to try and do it everyday. A lot of times people only do things like this when they are having a good day themselves or if it's convenient, which is fine. But I would like to try to go out of my way to do these things a little more, not just when it's convenient.
ReplyDeleteGreat post
I've never heard of that club, Dr. C. I'll check it out. Maybe that's something I can help you get going for next semester. And thanks Brooke. Think about how crazy it is... if each of us did do 25 of these, multiply that by the number of people in the class and #powpow lol... That's a lot of love hahaha
