12 Simple Ways to Show Kindness to Your Friends & Family
“Be kind.” It’s so simple. So impactful. And often, so easy.
While many say, “It takes courage to be kind,” it also doesn’t take much either. In fact, if everyone were a little more kind in our day-to-day, this world would likely be a very different place (Just some food for thought!).
When it comes to friends and family, you’ve probably heard this line before: “Treat others the way you want to be treated.” This usually means fostering kindness in many different aspects as we interact with those we love and care about—and no, it doesn’t have to involve huge sweeping acts of affection.
There are so many ways you can show kindness to others.
But if you’re stuck, here are twelve ways to show kindness to your family and friends (and maybe help set an example so others foster that too! After all, the world needs a little more kindness, always.)…
One Positive Action
Write down your “Why”
Here’s a little secret: knowing your “why” can be the difference between powering through and throwing in the towel.
When you take a moment to remind yourself why you’re doing the thing, whether it’s to provide for yourself or your family, to impress your cat, or just to prove to yourself that you can, it suddenly feels more meaningful.
Grab a piece of paper and write it down. Be specific. “Because it sounds cool” is fine, but “because I want to feel stronger, happier, or more confident” hits differently.
Once you’ve got your “why,” don’t just tuck it away somewhere you’ll forget. Stick it on your mirror, fridge, desk, or wherever you’ll see it daily. If anyone asks why you’ve plastered sticky notes all over your house, just tell them you’re remodelling.
Your “why” becomes your anchor. On those days when your motivation is low and everything is a slog, it’s your reminder of what’s at stake. So, whether you’re chasing a career dream, a fitness milestone, or learning how to make sourdough without cursing, knowing why you care keeps you grounded.
Write it down, keep it close, and let it fuel you when you need it most.
