items Random Acts of Kindness! I love this trend, and I wanted to record some of the cool ways to send messages of hope and encouragement to strangers. These messages might be exactly what they needed to hear at that exact time. Have fun with this list!

Random Note Project
Send a thank-you card to a local first responder (firefighters, police, ambulance..) These are the people who run towards danger in order to keep the rest of us safe. It is nice to notice what they do and thank them for it. Get a few of the neighbors...
Bring a Thank You Card to First Responders
Leave a dime in a random public place. Not all the time, just like once in a blue moon. There are many people in this word who believe that the dead and departed will leave behind a dime as a symbol of their presence. The dead want us to know they ar...

If you put this sticker on your car, there is a chance that some random stranger behind you will read a message that they really needed to hear. At that exact time! Maybe they have been putting off starting a small business, joining a gym, or startin... #affiliate
Encouraging Bumper Sticker
Mini encouragement cards are great for giving to someone who needs some extra encouragement, praise or compliment and help promote positive thinking. You can leave a card in someone's mailbox, or on a car in a parking lot if you prefer to remain anon... Or leave it on a park bench or some random place in public. You never know how you can affect someone else's mood! #affiliate
Encouragement Notes
Print out a few coupons or cut them out of your Sunday newspaper and leave them on top of corresponding products in the grocery store. It’s the intention that counts and people will appreciate it!
Clip Coupons
I like this idea, but I've never seen this in the wild. I think this would be cool to see while you wait in a line-up, you know, getting grumpy and annoyed. Then you look up and see this message. (and the smiley face :) #affiliate
'Dear Person Behind Me' Sweatshirt
Think of somewhere cool you went lately, and leave a positive review for that place on Google. A lot of people tend to leave reviews when they have bad experiences. Spread the lovin' feeling to your favorite restaurants or hotels or shops. Mention staff by name! This feels even better if they are a smaller business.
Leave A Positive Google Review
Yeah, life is really hard sometimes, and sometimes people just need to understand that they are not alone feeling this way. They might see this message on your car at the right time; when they feel like giving up. It might give them the fuel for one more step. One more day. #affiliate
Life is Hard Bumper Sticker
Well… make sure no one sees you! Leave a note for a co-worker complimenting them for something specific. Place it on their desk when no one is around, and see how their mood changes for the day! Be real though, be brief, and show some admiration for something they do well. Show your appreciation and be authentic, and they will feel seen. If you keep it simple and anonymous, it shouldn't feel creepy.

I love this idea! Leave this in a public place, and someone who needs this message might pick it up. #affiliate

Your blood can save someone's life! I think that's cool. This is giving me serious super-hero vibes :)
Donate Blood
Write a clean joke on a piece of square paper, make a swan, and leave it somewhere for someone to find! Swans are often seen as symbols of grace, beauty, love and loyalty. Finding this little swan might feel like the world is still has a little magic... The person who finds this, may never open it up to see the joke. All part of the mystery! #affiliate
Leave Some Swans Behind
This might sound weird, but take 5 minutes and speak to yourself kindly. Quietly (but out loud!) tell yourself three things that you like about yourself. This will likely boost your mood, and in turn, affect how you interact with your kids or partner or friends. A positive attitude is contagious you know! This may sound like a silly suggestion, but it really works… especially if you do this while looking at your reflection in the mirror. It's harder than you think!
Spend Some Time With Yourself
Maybe you are skilled crocheter… but I'm not. Anyways, you could buy (or make) a few of these little cuties, and drop them off at a cancer treatment center. Or a school. Somewhere where they could be handed to people who need a little friend to accompany them and boost their mood. Small enough to be kept in a pocket or purse. Your emotional support chicken can escort someone everywhere! There are so many different mini crocheted animals in this Etsy shop linked here… I just chose the chickens because they are my favorite!
Emotional Support Chicken
On your way out of the restaurant, ask the hostess if you can speak to the manager. Compliment the server and briefly explain what a nice time you had. The manager will be elated to hear this, as they usually end up talking to upset customers all the...
