One thing I’ve learned along the way to becoming proficient at performing random acts of kindness
is that it takes practice and creativity. I’ve already shared some ways for you to get started on your
own do-gooder practice, but you still may not be convinced. Doing something for others doesn’t
have to take much effort at all. It also doesn’t have to cost a dime. Let’s take a look at some ways
you can reach out and brighten someone’s day in the easiest way. You can never have too many
good examples.
 Smile at a stranger.
 Encourage someone who’s struggling.
 Give a word of praise to someone who’s least expecting it, like your boss.
 Hold the elevator for someone who’s in a rush.
 Read a child a story.
 Listen to someone’s complaint.
 Say a heartfelt thank you.
 Share a friend’s creative work on social media.
 Call someone you haven’t talked to in a long time just to say hello.
