Pink Shirt Day: Sprinkle Kindness Everywhere
February 25 is Pink Shirt Day – an annual event in Canada that raises awareness and funds for anti-bullying programs. This year Pink Shirt Day is focusing on small acts of kindness. Sprinkle kindness everywhere you go.
Looking for some ideas? The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation is full of practical suggestions including:
- Say hi to the person next to you on the elevator.
- Post inspirational sticky notes around your neighborhood, office, etc.
- Everyone is important. Learn the names of your office security guard, the person at the front desk and other people you see every day.
- Have a LinkedIn account? Write a recommendation for coworker or connection.
- Send a gratitude email to a coworker who deserves more recognition.
- When you’re throwing something away on the street, pick up any litter around you and put that in the trash too.
- Purchase extra dog or cat food and bring it to an animal shelter.
- When you hear that discouraging voice in your head, tell yourself something positive — you deserve kindness too!
