\nPut down your phone \u2013 at least during the time you spend with your loved ones. Practice being fully present to show that you appreciate and respect their time.<\/p>\n
\nWhether you pay for someone else’s groceries, gas, or morning coffee, there are so many ways you can go about this.<\/p>\n
\nTake an hour out of your day to donate blood. You can find your nearest blood drive here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nBranch out from your usual circle and reach out to someone you haven’t seen or talked to in a while. It could make someone’s day!<\/p>\n
\nAre you an animal lover? Dedicate a portion of your time to help our furry friends (because pets deserve kindness too).<\/p>\n
\nDon’t underestimate the power of a simple compliment.<\/p>\n
\nNix the tub of ice cream and box of tissues \u2013 sometimes, all it takes is a listening ear.<\/p>\n
\nShare that feeling you get when you find out there’s time left on your meter.<\/p>\n
\nWe told you it’s the little things that make all the difference. You’d be surprised how many people\u00a0don’t<\/em> do this.<\/p>\n
\nYes, during rush hour too.<\/p>\n
