It's World Kindness Day Today, read more below

Every day and week seems to be dedicated to something or other, and very often the best of these I think we should practice every day.

Someone has been very kind to me today and I will try and return those kindnesses.

I am dropping this into Critique as it is just a short information post which I was not expecting to do.

I think we should

Be Kind Every Day

Today is a day to celebrate the kindness in our lives, recognise how it strengthens our relationships, and cultivate that warm, cosy feeling it gives us inside.

But we should practice kindness every day.

On Vocal, try and read and comment on a few more stories today, especially authors you haven't read before. Maybe give a tip to a new author as that will make them feel very appreciated.

These are five ideas I took from my work intranet:

1. Show some love: We know how amazing our colleagues are. But have you ever told them? Give a shout-out to a teammate when they’re doing a great job, or just let them know you appreciate their hard work. A little recognition goes a long way, and it makes both of you feel good! Looking for ideas?
2. Share what you know: We all love a good life hack so if you’ve picked up a new skill or learned a trick that makes work or life easier, pass it on!
3. Spread good vibes: Whether it’s a quick note of encouragement, sharing something uplifting, or starting off with a cheerful “Good morning!”—a little positivity is infectious. Your energy can lift up everyone
4. Be kind to yourself: Remember that kindness isn’t only for others – it’s essential to show it to yourself too. Whether you want to watch your favourite chick-flick, buy yourself a bunch of flowers, or take yourself out for a walk, self-kindness not only reduces stress but also make it easier to extend kindness to others.
5. Get involved in giving back: Volunteering or joining a charity event is an awesome way to spread kindness beyond work. Find a cause you love or join in a local project.

Conclusion

The music had to be "Be Good To Yourself" by the sadly missed Frankie Miller.

Thank you for reading and spread a little happiness, and I with leave you with a little Graham Sumner.
