Kindness Machine Ideas
These were inspired by Dr. Stephens’ post and colleague’s responses… I’m intrigued as to what could be in the boxes, and so I wanted to try and write a couple. fwiw – ymmv. 🙂
Challenge Ideas For Me:
Return someone’s shopping cart for them
Acknowledge / say thank you to someone when they do something kind for me, like hold a door
Acknowledge / say thank you to anyone serving me in a restaurant
Acknowledge / say thank you to anyone serving me in a civic setting (DMV, Post Office)
Hold a door for someone I don’t know
Random text to a friend reminding them that they are important to me
Take any opportunity to pet a fur-friend (ask the owner first!)
Buy someone a book I know they want (comic, analog or e-book)
When browsing at the book store, put books back where I found them
Use “please” with any request
Do the dishes after a dinner party I’ve been invited to
Read with a child (ask the owner first!)
Let someone with fewer items go ahead of me in line
Praise someone’s strengths or talents, or even for something they are trying
Acknowledge someone’s contributions in a group setting
please feel free to suggest any others in the comments!
