43 Ways to Be Kind in 2018 and Beyond

In a recent poll, the #1 New Year’s Resolution for 2018 was to Be Kind even outranking weight loss.
I find this to be so pleasing to hear. With all the highly charged politics of 2017 and all the ideologies debating one another, it makes sense as to why this became # 1.
We are made up of energy and the more positive we can be towards one another, the better a world we can live in. The act of giving creates feel good chemicals in your body and being nice to others is actually a great way to help yourself and your health. So, to bring in the New Year I have made a list of 43 ways to be kind in 2018. Enjoy…
