1) Offer your full attention to someone
“Attention is the rarest and purist form of generosity,” said Simone Weil. Today, try being completely present with someone and notice what happens.
2) Express sincere gratitude to a friend
Bring a smile to someone’s face by sending a message or placing a phone call to say “thank you.”
3) Arm yourself with a $5 bill in your pocket
Travel through your day seeking ways to spread compassion with cash. Buy coffee for someone who seems sad, get a sandwich for someone who seems hungry, purchase a flower for a loved one (or a stranger)!
4) Offer someone the benefit of the doubt
Remember that we all make mistakes and might have other reasons for unskilled behavior.
5) Bring back snail mail and send a letter of encouragement
It’s a small investment of time that provides big dividends because your friend can revisit the card whenever she is feeling down.
6) Greet a stranger with a smile and kind word
This simple act can help you feel more connected to your community.
7) Practice compassionate listening
Most of us simply want to be heard, and it is a gift when someone truly listens with an open heart.
8) Practice self-compassion and tend to your OWN suffering
Place your hand on your heart and soothe yourself by saying, “May I find peace.”
9) Have compassion for our planet
Increase awareness of your surroundings and seek out opportunities to have compassion for the Earth.
10) Compliment a colleague or loved one
You can improve your work and home atmosphere, and your kind word might make someone’s day!
11) Meet your neighbors!
Seek out a neighbor who you don’t know and introduce yourself.
12) Drive with patience (and reduce road rage)
Try exercising patience with your fellow drivers and imagine that they, too, are trying to get to work on time or home to their loved ones.
