Focusing On Kindness

Check out the Action For Happiness app here. The app is like having a little personal action coach in your pocket who:

• Gives you friendly 'nudges' with an action idea each day

• Sends you inspiring messages to give you a boost

• Helps you connect & share ideas with like-minded people.

Get involved with random acts of kindness

• Call a friend that you haven’t spoken to for a while

• Tell a family member how much you love and appreciate them

• Make a cup of tea for someone you live with

• Help with a household chore at home

• Arrange to watch a film at the same time as a friend and video call

• Tell someone you know that you are proud of them

• Tell someone you know why you are thankful for them

• Send someone you know a joke to cheer them up

• Send an inspirational quote to a friend

• Send an interesting article to a friend

• Contact someone you haven’t seen in a while and arrange a phone catch up

• Spend time playing with your pet

• Donate to a charity

• Lend your ear – call a colleague and ask how they’re finding the change in routine

• Give praise to your colleague for something they’ve done well

• Arrange to have a video lunch with a colleague

• Send an inspirational story of kindness people around the world are doing for others to someone you know

• Donate to foodbanks

• Offer to skill share with a friend via video call - you could teach guitar, dance etc.
