Random Acts of Kindness Decks make it easy to create a ripple effect of kindness.
We've all done it. Standing at the edge of a pond, you toss a small rock into the water and watch as the pebble creates a ripple. The ripples continue until they reach the edge of the shore, touching it ever so gently. There is something mesmerizing about watching the way a small rock can skim the still water and have such a wide-reaching impact, right? The same is true for random acts of kindness. They have far reaching effects, not just for the receiver but also for the giver of kindness.
This beautiful analogy illustrates the way your actions, no matter how small, can have a rippling effect on others. When you display random acts of kindness to others, even in subtle ways, that feeling of kindness extends outward. When you are kind, you inspire others to be kind. Ripples of kindness spread with every smile, thoughtful gesture, and encouraging shared word.
Subtle Gestures and Random Acts of Kindness
One small kind act can cause a wave of kindness that impacts an entire community. If you are focused on being kind, you are creating a movement for change. You know the quote, "Be the change you wish to see in the world?" That quote isn't just about change, and it isn't only about one person being able to change their world. It's bigger; it about a movement that can be started from one person acting with good intentions and kindness toward another.
Sometimes it’s difficult to know how to demonstrate kindness, or you forget your good intentions during the hustle and bustle of daily life. We get it, life gets busy. For this reason, we created our Random Acts of Kindness Deck. Random Acts of Kindness Deck cards act as affirmation cards to encourage positive thinking.
The Benefits of Demonstrating Kindness to Others
Showing kindness to others can do more than make their day better. It can also make you healthier and happier. There is so much research about all the benefits of performing acts of kindness. Research has suggested that random acts of kindness can be contagious. When other people see you do something good, they may feel more motivated to follow suit. They can also boost energy and happiness; decrease stress, anxiety and depression; help you have a more positive attitude; improve your sense of life satisfaction; extend your lifespan; increase serotonin, endorphins and oxytocin, the body’s feel-good chemicals that improve your mood, reduce pain and boost feelings of love; light up your brain’s pleasure sensors, giving you a “helper’s high;” lower your blood pressure; and strengthen your relationships.
Use Random Acts of Kindness Cards Regularly
To get the most out of using Random Acts of Kindness cards, we recommend using them frequently and over time. While demonstrating kindness as a one-off will still have a positive impact on your mindset, the most noticeable results will appear with repetitive use. It’s also important to note that random acts of kindness are not about being exceptional in every way. They are about acting kindly on a daily basis not only for the benefit of others, but for your benefit as well. Kindness and gratitude have major impacts on the reward center of the brain. Therefore, by doing kind things and showing gratitude to others, you also reward yourself.
Our Random Acts of Kindness Deck is thoughtfully written to empower you to make the world a better place, one small gesture at a time. Examples of our Random Acts of Kindness Deck prompts include: "Send a thank you card to someone who has positively impacted your life," or "Ask a friend or family member if there's anything you can get for them while you're at the store." Another offers the suggestion to donate blood.
Random Acts of Kindness Decks are Easy to Use
Our Random Acts of Kindness Decks are easy to use and have a big impact on others. Each card offers a simple way to show love, appreciation, and compassion to those around you. These cards remind you to inspire kindness and help you remain mindful in meaningful ways that touch the lives of close friends and family, and even those you don't know.
It takes each of us to make a difference for all of us. This is the mindset and intention behind our Random Acts of Kindness Deck. We hope this deck encourages you to embrace a kindness mindset and, in turn, pass it on to others with small but meaningful and impactful, thoughtful gestures.
How to Use the Random Acts of Kindness Deck
To use the deck, simply shuffle and pull a card from the box of 52 prompts. Because the prompts are well designed, they eliminate decision fatigue about how you can show love and kindness to others. They encourage you to act on your intentions rather than just thinking about doing something kind for others.
Mindfully complete the prompt and tuck it back into the card deck when finished. Once you've worked through the entire deck, gift it to a friend, family member or loved one as yet another act of kindness.
A little act of kindness goes a long way. Be a positive impetus for change in the world by acting on kind and compassionate thoughts and gestures. And remember, genuine acts of kindness come with no reciprocal expectations. You just pass them on and pay them forward.
