Raise money for a good cause.

Increasingly, social media can be used to raise money for good causes. My friend Kyra sold T-shirts on Facebook to raise money for an organization she wanted to support. And Patrick asked friends to donate to a charity for his birthday present. You can do things like this too. By making your online interactions less about yourself and more about making a positive difference for others, you'll likely feel better about yourself and boost your happiness.

“I don't want to live in the kind of world where we don't look out for each other. Not just the people that are close to us, but anybody who needs a helping hand. I cant change the way anybody else thinks, or what they choose to do, but I can do my bit.”

Charles de Lint

A very simple way to spread more happiness in your own little world is through kindness. It's often an easy and quick thing you can do as you move through your daily life.

But we sometimes forget about it. Or don’t remember how it can help us all.


Three things that I like to keep in mind and that help me to try to be a kinder person are these:
  • I get what I give. Yep, some people will be ungrateful, miserable and not reciprocating no matter what you may do. But most people will over time treat you as you treat them.
  • By being kinder to others I am more likely to be kinder to myself. It may sound a bit odd but my experience is that when I am kinder towards others then my self-esteem goes up.
  • It creates a happier place to live in. Being kinder simply makes my own little world a nicer and happier place to live in.

Compassion meditation boosts empathy. Ask your family to think, eyes closed, about times they've struggled and imagine offering themselves kindness. Have them repeat the visualization imagining people in their lives and what they might be feeling, and offering them kindness too. This helps us relate our troubles to those of others. Or try the three-minute loving-kindness session on the meditation app MyLife.

Read children’s picture books about kindness with your children as a connected way to share and model what kindness looks like, feels like, and acts like.

These wonderful stories about kindness can prompt important conversations about relationships with other people in the world and relationships with ourselves. Even people we don’t know. Or don’t like.

Read each story and use it to ask questions about the character and the character’s motivations. Why did the characters behave the way they did? What would we do in the situation?
