3 Ways to Unleash the Power of Kindness in Your Life

1. Learn from kindness specialists and experts.

Kindness Catalyst Marissa Andrada explains that your efforts will start to pay off at work and home. “Always lead with kindness and never forget the platinum rule: Treat people the way THEY want to be treated!” she says. “Being kind is infectious and is the foundation for the willingness to give and help others. When you are intentional about being kind, it can begin a movement to pay it forward to others and change the world, one person at a time.”

2. Commit one sincere expression of gratitude daily.

You’ve probably heard of random acts of kindness. Are you exercising your ability to pass those out at least once a day? Even if you’re incredibly busy, you can always make time for a compliment. And you might just be surprised at how meaningful that compliment could be to you and the recipient.

Three authors writing for Harvard Business Review discovered just how meaningful genuine compliments could be. They discovered that being kind had a psychological boomerang effect: Their conclusion? “Consistently, we found that giving compliments actually made people happier than receiving them.”

3. Become a regular volunteer.

Volunteering is the ultimate in showing kindness. When you volunteer, you show your support and compassion. Plus, you get to meet others who are aligned with your values and purpose. Don’t be surprised if some of them turn into business referrers, partners, vendors, employees, or bosses.
