15 Ways You Can Participate in Conscious Kindness Day June 22

There are so many reasons to be kind. In correlation with a month of celebration for their 50th anniversary, the United Way of Winnipeg has launched Conscious Kindness – a day where Winnipeggers pledge to do kind things. 

On the United Way's website you can see who is being kind, what they’re doing, as well as share your story. To share your act of kindness, post a picture on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram with the hashtag #KindWPG. 

Also, ensure to be extra kind on June 22 – the official Conscious Kindness Day! The Payworks philosophy is to Pay It Forward, which is why we have printed off the Conscious Kindness posters and posted them around our Head Office and National Service Centre in Winnipeg. We can’t wait to see the different ways our staff will choose to spread kindness. To print off posters for your workplace, click here. 

What are some way you can be kind to your friends, family, co-workers, neighbours, or a complete stranger? 

Here are 15 ideas: 

1. Pay It Forward by paying for someone’s coffee anonymously. 
2. Hold the door open for the person behind you.
3. Donate old clothes or household items to someone in need.
4. Write a positive online review.
5. Lend a good book you’re no longer reading to a friend.
6. Donate blood.
7. Let someone go ahead of you – by letting someone cut you in line at the grocery store, or letting another driver into your lane in traffic. 
8. Bring in baked goods for your co-workers. 
9. Compliment someone. 
10. Send someone flowers.
11. Leave an inspirational message behind on a whiteboard, with sticky notes, or with sidewalk chalk. 
12. Lend a helping hand with yard work or chores around the house. 
13. Beautify your neighbourhood by picking up loose garbage or trash. 
14. Hand out hugs and high-fives. 
15. SMILE – say hello and spread positivity.
