“Enjoy the satisfaction that comes from doing little things well.”

Celebrate a small accomplishment today. Whether it is holding back from gossip, getting up on time in the morning, or eating a healthy snack. Give yourself a round of applause.

Today I acknowledge my accomplishments. Small is the new big.

“Kindness starts from the heart and ends with extended arms.”

Hug today like you’ve never hugged before! Embrace others with the intention of empathizing and feeling what they feel.

Today I am vulnerable. Tearing downs my walls builds me up in more ways than one.

“You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.”

Perform an act of kindness in the merit of someone who has passed away.

Today I dare to love unconditionally.

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Make plans to hang out with someone who may not necessarily be in your circle of friends.

Today I am a conduit for goodness. When I give outwardly I am strengthened inwardly.

“Some old-fashioned things like fresh air and sunshine are hard to beat.”

Spend some time in nature and allow yourself to become energized from the environment. Think of how much more energy you will be equipped with to give outwardly.

Today I take the time to breathe in all that life has to offer me.

“You must do the things you think you cannot do.”

Begin a short and simple exercise routine. It may be as simple as stretching your legs every few hours. Movement of the body opens us up to movement of the mind. When the mind opens, magic ensues.

Today I embrace fear. Within fear, opportunities emerge.

“Choosing kindness is just as easy as smiling.”

Try to reduce the impact you have on the environment. Whether you shorten your shower or begin using a reusable waterbottle, remember that your choices impact, not only the here and now, but the future.

Today I am authentic and sincere with myself and with others. I’m proud of who I am and feel secure to show my true colors.

“Friends are the sunshine of life.”

Reach out to a friend and share. Friendships are built on trust and trust is built by sharing a piece of yourself.

Today I live my truth. I’m not afraid to be who I am or feel how I feel.

“I believe in being strong when everything seems to go wrong.”

Life throws curb balls our way all the time. When something doesn’t necessarily go your way, change your perspective. For example, if you are stuck in heavy traffic with friends, instead of feeling frustrated, search for the opportunity amongst the inconveniences. “Lucky me, I get more one on one time with friends!”

Today I am a change agent. I think outside the box!

“Kind people are the best kind of people.”

Write out a list of movie, book, or song recommendations and gift it to a friend who will appreciate it!

Today I choose thoughtfulness. I am a kindness seeker in every way, shape, and form.

“Compassion is about solutions. It’s about giving all the love you’ve got.”

See a tourist roaming around in your city? Offer to take their picture, suggest a great attraction, restaurant or simply learn a bit about their culture. You can become an ambassador of kindness for your city.

Today I represent kindness. I share the great warmth in my heart with the world.

“The best way to get things done is to simply begin.”

Call someone you have been avoiding and clear the air. Lift a weight off your shoulders and potentially bring someone resolution they have been so aching for.

Today I am action in every sense. I break the cycle of procrastination.

“Joy is not in things. It is in us.”

Begin to peel back the layers. Open up a bit more to someone in your immediate circle about something you’re passionate about. Set the stage for them to share as well. By connecting we create a kinder world.

Today I embody confidence; in myself, my story and the quirky things that make me uniquely me.

“Be happy with what you have. Be excited about what you want.”

Take a step out of your comfort zone and engage in an act of kindness that you generally shy away from. Share a meal with a stranger, engage in conversation on your morning commute, pay someone a compliment.

Today I am adventurous! I let my excitement lead the way.

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.”

Do something different today that will show others just how unique you are. Don’t stick to the status quo! Whether it’s doing something on your own, standing up for what you believe in, or wearing something different, you are sure to inspire others.

Today I let my individuality shine! I am different and that is what makes me special.
