It’s Random Acts of Kindness Week! Let’s do something nice for someone!

Every year, Random Acts of Kindness Week is celebrated February 14-20, and the National Random Acts of Kindness Day is tomorrow (Friday Feb. 17).

This morning on the show, we shared some of the history behind Random Acts of Kindness. It was a term first coined by Anne Herbert in 1982 in California. She wrote the phrase “practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty” on a placemat in response to some violent phrase that someone else had written. She wanted to end senseless violence. She wrote a children’s book in 1993 to teach children about showing kindness to others. Since then, we’ve celebrated Random Acts of Kindness.

There’s many ways to celebrate! You can perform those random acts of kindness for other people, read books that inspire you, and help inspire other people.

We also shared some stories about how people have been impacted by random acts of kindness. We shared stories of snow days, holding the door open for others, helping a stranger in need, and being present with other people. These stories are inspiring and will give you some ideas of how you can show kindness during Random Acts of Kindness Week.

The three easy steps to create a good apology

Let’s be real, we’ve all had to apologize for something that we’ve done. But sometimes offering a heartfelt apology can be difficult. Maybe you don’t know what to say, or maybe you think if you don’t say anything the other person will forget how you wronged them. Being able to apologize is still important! Family Life offers 3 simple steps to make a good apology.

The first step is to actually say the words “I’m sorry,” and actually mean it. Even if you have to sleep on it to understand why you need to apologize, be heartfelt in saying it. Flippant apologies can be more hurtful than not saying anything at all.

The second step is to say why you’re apologizing. This isn’t your time to try to blame the other person, but for you to explain what you did that warrants the apology.

The final step is to offer to fix your mistakes. This can help you rebuild trust with that other person and hopefully help keep you from making the same mistake again.
