How to Be a Kinder Person
Experts suggest a few straightforward ways to bring more kindness into everyday life:
- Assume the best in people – Try to believe that others mean well, and look for chances to lift them up.
- Look for common ground
– Shared interests and values help build empathy and remind us of our shared humanity.
- Do something for others – Acts like volunteering or giving to charity not only help people but also make you feel good.
- Really listen – Keep eye contact, put your phone away, and ask genuine questions so people feel heard.
- Smile sincerely – A simple smile can build trust and spread a sense of ease.
- Keep things light – A touch of humour in tense moments can ease frustration and strengthen bonds.
- Use people’s names – Remembering and saying someone’s name shows respect and makes them feel valued.
- Respect differences – Even when you disagree, finding shared interests helps you stay kind and connected.
Putting these habits into practice can help you feel more at home with others and improve your own sense of wellbeing.
