Are you and your friends looking for something new to do together? How about spreading a little kindness around your community? Could you use some motivation tips?
Here are a few kindness motivation tips from the E-book, 101 Ways to Change the World. Most of these motivation tips involve some exercise, so you and your friends will get an extra "fitness" bonus along with the fun and fellowship!
Here are some project ideas.
1. Take your lunch break to clean up trash. Enlist the help of other employees or friends to join you. This makes a difference in how your workplace or town will look.
2. Make a regular date with your family or friends to go out at least one hour a week to clean trash around:
• Your neighborhood • On your road • Somewhere else you know needs cleaning up. Soon the whole area will shine!
3. Get kids involved
• Enlist the help of neighborhood kids to clean up your neighborhood, or some other place.
• Chauffeur them somewhere they want to go (miniature golf, bowling, a movie, etc.) as their reward. You should have lots of ‘volunteers' taking advantage of this!
4. Refurbish and repair toys to be given to underprivileged children.
• Develop a team of people (family, friends or fellow employees) to help with the repairs. The toys will be useful again and the children will appreciate them more than you will ever know!
• Take to a local homeless shelter or safe house
• This is an easy way to show kindness and make a difference to children who need to know someone cares.
5. Plant a neighborhood garden - with everyone taking part in caring for it.
• When the garden is at its peak, make a difference in people's health with daily produce trips to local Shelters or neighbor's homes.
• Show "newbies" the difference between vegetable plants and weeds. Talk about what you are planting and the different aspects of gardening. They'll be learning a skill they can use for a lifetime and you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you made a difference!
• When the garden season is over, have a party to celebrate how your garden made a difference in many people's lives.
6. Buy daffodil and tulip bulbs in the Fall when they are the least expensive. Plant them at your school, church, neighbor's house, or anywhere their beauty can spread good feelings of kindness.
