Showing kindness to people that are strangers is a great way to boost your own spirit.
Open the door for someone whose hands are full, let someone go in front of you in line at the store, just any simple act of kindness can make a big difference in someone's day. A small act on your part can have a big impact on your day. You don't have to be annoying about it, just pass a little peace.
Sometimes letting someone do some small act of kindness is important to them. Just say "Thank You" and smile. I am thinking of your sister wanting to bring you a drink, just say yes and thanks, let her be kind. You will teach her so much about herself.
Give compliments when they are sincere. Don't add the "I" statements. Just give the compliment.
For example: you -" I noticed you've lost weight"
friend- " Thanks, I lost 40 lbs"
you-" I've been trying to........... scratch that. Just give them a nod and a smile, let them know the hard work paid off and that you are happy for them. It's so easy to try to turn the conversation back to oneself instead of letting it be about another.
Be kind to animals. Rescue the snake that got in under the door, or the bee that terrorized your sister. If some poor creature is suffering in the heat bring it water. You don't have to hang around and make it a pet just help one of Gods lesser creatures.
You will be amazed at how good you feel inside after showing a little kindness.Remember that feeling and carry it with you. Call upon that feeling during times of stress.
Be Blessed.
