Acts of kindness are small acts you can do throughout your day and every act will improve your environment whether that be school, work, or extracurriculars. According to Psychyiatry.org “Everyday simple acts of kindness can contribute to boosting your mood, reducing stress, and possibly alleviating symptoms of depression or anxiety.” Ms. Kulage chimed in and said ” I love an act of kindness cause it can definitely start a chain reaction!”
Some ways you can make St. Charles West a better and kinder place is by:
- Holding the door for someone. (Especially if they have their hands full!)
- Compliment a peer
- Picking up after yourself
- Help a friend with studying
- Offering a smile to someone
- Thank a teacher
These are simple ways to make someone else’s day brighter and it might make you feel better as well! Western Tidewater said “people performing the act of kindness consistently underestimated how much it was actually appreciated.”
