✨ Things to do on National Do Something Nice Day

⚑ Volunteer
Participate in a local group in your area. If you’re not sure how or where to volunteer, think about your best abilities and how you may utilize them to assist others. If you have building skills, consider volunteering with Habitat for Humanity. If you’re a web developer, donate your coding abilities to a nonprofit organization in need of a website redesign, or educate local schoolchildren in the fundamentals of programming. Most cities have soup kitchens or homeless shelters that are always in need of nice, sympathetic people.

⚑ Assist a stranger
Make a simple act of kindness to show a stranger that you care. Pay the person in line behind you at the coffee shop. If you notice someone sobbing alone in public, offer them a tissue or, if necessary, some other kind of aid. If someone appreciates you for your kindness, remind them to pay it forward by assisting someone else who is in need when the time comes. Whatever happens, keep spreading happiness!

⚑ Call someone just to tell them you care
Call someone you care about out of the blue to express how much you appreciate them. It could simply make their day! If you know someone who is going through a difficult period in their life, gently check in with them and let them know you’re thinking about them. Send them a bouquet or drop off a homemade dinner if you can. Your individual attention can make all the difference.
