Happy World Kindness Day!

To celebrate, think about the day ahead. Be open to chances to be kind.

Whether it's listening to someone tell a story they've told you a gazillion times before, agreeing to take a couple of tourists' photo, smiling at people in the street, giving up your seat on the train or bus or anything else, think about what you can do today to make the world a little kinder.

Don't forget to be kind to yourself, too.

If someone's trying to help you, don't automatically refuse them. If there are things you haven't done, rather than beat yourself up about it, ask yourself (kindly) what would help you take that next step.

By slowing down just a little, you'll notice all sorts of ways to be a little kinder, accept others' kindess to you and enjoy life more.
