Kindness on a national level, what are your though

Kindness on a national level, what are your thoughts?

Where do you believe kindness fits in when you are considering voting?

If you journal about it, do your thoughts surprise you?

We like to leave Saturdays for what we’re callin

We like to leave Saturdays for what we’re calling free talk. What that means is:

What’s on your mind?

What are you thinking about or feeling that might be hard or challenging? How can we extend kindness to you by listening? 💜

OR

What are you feeling/thinking/experiencing that feels good or positive but it feels “wrong” or disrespectful to say to others in your life? (Which is actually never the case btw - you shouldn’t feel the need to dim your light. We all cycle through ups and downs) How can we support and celebrate the good in your world? 💜

Lastly, how are kindness and play showing up in your life? Love to hear about that too!

Love to hear from you, if it feels comfortable to share.

RIP RBG. We share your belief that living for one

RIP RBG. We share your belief that living for one’s community is what makes life meaningful.

Thank you for all you did and were.

Some kind acts are instantaneous and you feel the

Some kind acts are instantaneous and you feel the connection right in the moment - but to think that’s the end of the kindness is to miss the fact that kindness is contagious.

Science shows that the giver, the receiver and an observer all benefit from an act of kindness. You may not even be aware of the observer’s presence.

How wonderful to know that your act will inspire somebody you didn’t even directly interact with, starting a whole new stream of kindness with an end you can’t see or predict.

How does that feel? To know that you alone can be responsible for a ripple of kindness, possible eternal, that could start with just one act 💜

Here in the US we are preparing for our elections

Here in the US we are preparing for our elections and there is a lot of discussion, rhetoric and sadly divide.

It doesn’t need to be that way, do you agree? Are you looking for ways to inject kindness into the process and also support candidates that are prioritizing kindness.

If so, you aren’t alone!

@keepitkind2020 is a nonpartisan grassroots kindness campaign that is encouraging kindness and understanding during this time and they have a #keepitkindpledge that you can download. It’s a great place to start!

@votekindness - Advocates the idea that we all, including our leaders, need to live with greater integrity, dignity and kindness. It is also a grassroots, nonpartisan (or apolitical) organization seeking to elect leaders “ Who are not only smart, determined, and strong, but also kind”.

Are there other groups you know of or a part of? If so, please share in the comments.

What a beautiful way to be bound to each other - through the golden chain of kindness. 💜

What are other ways you can convey that sentiment? What value do you believe kindness has in any society?

SPECIAL SATURDAY RECESS!!

For all you people who are busy on Fridays and can’t join us, this Recess is for you! 💜

Saturday, September 12
2 PDT / 5 PDT

Join us for some fortune cookie-inspired fun!

What is Recess?

Remember the joy of play – whether it was on the playground, in your room or in your backyard? The belly laughs and losing track of time.

That feeling. We are going to tap back into that.

At Recess we play games – ranging from interactive versions of board games, word games, charades to themed scavenger hunts – and connect with others with the goal of having fun and getting those belly laughs.

You will leave feeling happier, less stressed, more creative and just more connected to others in an uplifted playful way. There’s enough seriousness and heaviness in the world today. Put it down for an hour 💜

It’s wonderful to spread kindness in your neighborhood or community, but it’s also good to look even farther.

Are you looking for ways to help in your region or state? Kindness can spread its ripple effect when you support resources that are helping many people.

What are some of your favorite regional or state resources? Feel free to post about them in the comments.

There is a link in the bio to help you find some others, especially if you live in certain states.

The concept that kindness is contagious is the cornerstone of Kindagious.

It is both physically and emotionally contagious. Studies show that the observer benefits just as much as the receiver and the giver.

What a great visual to imagine it as social glue, connecting individuals in a community one by one.

What else do you view as social glue?

We’ve been talking a lot about our neighborhoods

We’ve been talking a lot about our neighborhoods and communities this week.

Journal about your current thoughts around the word community. What does it mean to you? What are the positive aspects, what are the challenging ones?

What would a kind community look like to you?

We’ve been talking a lot this week about what ki

We’ve been talking a lot this week about what kindness in your neighborhood or community looks like.

Do you think that your neighborhood has a kind vibe? If not, why not?

What is hard about being kind to those around you, what kind of barriers are you encountering? What bad or uncomfortable feelings does it bring up?

What are you thinking about that has nothing to do with kindness and your neighborhood? What’s challenging but you don’t know how to describe it or feel comfortable talking about?

We’d love to hear your thoughts. 💜

As we head into this long weekend in the US we’r

As we head into this long weekend in the US we’re thinking about how we can spread kindness in our neighborhood. And as Mr. Rogers says sometimes it’s just one kind word. One. We can all do that!

Imagine the ripple effect if everyone did that.

What is one simple thing you can do this weekend to make your neighborhood or community a kinder, more connected place?

Yesterday we asked what you might be doing in your

Yesterday we asked what you might be doing in your neighborhood or community to spread kindness.

One of our community mentioned that she stopped and listened to people who looked like they needed it. What a beautiful, powerful act of kindness 💜 Not to mention free. The investment is your time but the pay off is priceless.

We’ve put together a very short list of some ideas to get you started if you are stuck. None of them are novel or groundbreaking, but sometimes we just need a reminder of what we already know. We know what to do, and how to do it but life is understandably complex right now. So small simple acts are the key. It doesn’t need to be fancy, time consuming or expensive.

What are some of your community kindness favorites?
