How to be kind to others
Are you a kind person? Do you know how to be kind to others? Do people usually tell you that you are kind? What is kindness?
Kindness is when you do something positive to someone else or to yourself. Kindness is an act of goodwill that can help and makes a positive difference in someone’s life like my friend Alex did with gathering many acts of kindness from many different bloggers into one e-book “A manfiesto for making kindness a dailly habit” that is available for download.
Jennifer makes sure that she smiles at everyone every day. When I asked her why she smiles at everyone including strangers, she said that smiling is contagious. She goes on to mention that being kind to others and smiling gets to people’s hearts easily and it can change someone’s day for the best.
As I mentioned in my article “smile 400 times a day” that smiling has powerful effects on yourself and on others and it really can improve the mood of others. Isn’t that a powerful act of kindness?
Act of kindness
One of the best acts of kindness you can do to others is praying for them. I personally pray for someone daily. I make sure that I take 5 minutes from my day to perform this act of kindness. This is one of the most powerful acts of kindness you will ever do.
Imagine if each one of us spends as little as 5 minutes every day to pray for someone. What would the world be? As you know praying for others is a powerful act that can make a positive difference in someone’s life as research shows that scientific praying can do miracles in people’s lives.
Random acts of kindness
To learn how to be kind to others, follow the random acts of kindness below:
1. Buy a gift and give it to someone for no reason
2. Write a poem and send it to someone

14. Pray to others
15. Write a testimonial on someone’s products like Bryan and JK did on my e-book “How to overcome worry?”

My e-book How to overcome worry answers those questions and teaches you the scientific ways to control and overcome worry and have peace of mind.

Hi Dia,
I love this post! It is so important that we are kind to others. I love that you pray for someone each day. That is a wonderful practice and I will include it in my prayer time.
It is very kind that Bryan and JK wrote testimonials for you.
I am generally a very kind person, but there is always room for improvement.
Thanks for the list too!
Take care and enjoy your weekend!

You are a very kind person Evelyn. Thanks my friend 
I try to live by the admonition, “Life is short and we have but little time to gladden the hearts of those who travel this way with us. Oh, be swift to love. Make haste to be kind.”

Hi Galen Pearl,
Fore sure we have got to give our love and be kind to others as what we give is what we get. Being kind helps humanity my friend. Thanks Galen Pearl
Wonderful list of kind actions. Bryan and Jk are kind men indeed (and so are you Dia).
Thanks so much for spreading the word about the 31 Days of Kindness – much appreciated!
Alex
Hi Alex,
I agree Alex, Bryan and JK are very kind. You are very kind as well my friend. Gathering all the info into one free e-book shows it
Thanks Alex
hello dia
how are you?
it’s fulfilling to genuinely put or leave a smile on the face of others.
although i have come in contact with people who take delight in being nasty, i have always wondered what the attraction was.
you have pointed out that kindness can be shown in simple ways.
thanks for sharing this.
take care and enjoy the rest of the day

Hi Ayo,
Yea smiling is crucial as well. When we put a smile on someone’s face, you are changing someone’s mood my friend for the better and that is what we want
Dia,
I think prayer is one of the kindest unseen acts anyone can do. I love it when others pray for me and know many people who love it when I pray for them. Wishing others good will is truly a powerful way to bring more kindness into the world. Thanks for the other tips as well. Keep smiling!

Hi Joe,
Praying for others is for sure powerful. It helps spread positive thoughts and energy into the world. Thanks Joe
Hi Dia,
Beautiful! Nothing better than random acts of kindness. Smiles are contagious, they don’t cost anything, and they boomerang right back at you. It’s one of the easiest, purest acts of kindness. I also like prayer as a daily practice. For me that tops it all.
Great list. I specially like #10.
Loving blessings!

Hi Andrea,
Smiling is huge my friend. If we wake up with a smile on our face, we will end up with one and we make others smile as well.
Dia – I think this is the best type of kindness – random, unscripted (well, kind of) and all for the right reason. I’ve really tried to make this part of my life…selfishly, there’s a great amount of fulfillment that comes long with being kind to others. Brightening some else’s day brighten’s ours as well. That’s a win/win.
Thanks Dia

Hi JK,
Yea kindness is crucial my friend. We have to have it part of our life to help ourselves and others. Thanks JK
Dia, you’ve knocked it out the park once again!
The best way to get is to give. And I say ‘get’, I mean you should give without the intention of getting. In other words, selfless giving, and its this kind of giving that is the ultimate form of kindness. Random giving is also pretty cool

Hi Stuart,
“To get is to give” is huge my friend. When we give and be kind without the intention of getting is a crucial part and this is really the basis of humanity. Thanks Stuart
Hi Dia,
This is wonderful! It is amazing what an act of kindness can do for someones day. I like your idea of praying for someone. You are right prayer can produce miracles. And smiling at everyone is so easy to do. That should become a habit to people and they would see just how much better it makes them feel.
Thank you for the reminder and have a great day.

Hi Debbie,
Yea praying is powerful and it affects people positively if done right. Smiling is crucial as well. It is simple, but it has powerful effects. Thanks Debbie
Dia,
In my own personal experience by putting the needs of others before yourself is the best way to display kindness. i have never done something for someone and left empty-handed. I leave feeling a sense of fulfillment and pride. I leave with hope that I have just positively invested into someone’s life. I love being kind and you have given some great tips to do just that continually.
