Have you experienced this?

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
Self-Doubt Interrupt
You know that feeling when you’re lying in bed replaying the whole evening in your head? You wonder if you said the wrong thing to your sister, if you were too harsh with your kid, or if you’re doing enough for your aging parents. The questions loop until you’ve convinced yourself you’re failing at every role you hold.
Self-doubt shows up differently in family life. At work, you might worry about how well you’re doing. With friends, you might wonder if they really like you. But with family, the doubt feels more personal because it’s about the roles that matter most. It can feel like you’re questioning your own value.
The tricky thing about self-doubt is that it doesn’t deal in facts. It speaks in broad, emotional statements that sound true but can’t be proven: I’m a bad parent. I’m not there enough. I always say the wrong thing. These thoughts feel real, but they collapse under scrutiny. You can’t actually fail at every moment of every day. You can’t truly be absent if you care enough to worry about being absent. Reality is always more nuanced than the story your doubt tells.
The Self-Doubt Interrupt is a simple tool to break that cycle. When the voice starts, stop and write down the exact thought. Then ask yourself, “Is this actually true, or is this just a story I’m telling myself?” List three recent facts that contradict it. Every time you look for evidence, you weaken doubt’s hold and replace vague guilt with truth.
This week, track your moments of self-doubt. Each time it appears, write the exact thought and list three pieces of evidence from the past week that disprove it. At the end of the week, read them back. You’ll see what your doubt hides from you: you care, you show up, and that effort matters. Reality is far kinder than the stories you tell yourself.
