Even if you didn’t use them, returning shopping carts is a small way to help out store employees while getting a bit of exercise.

A few encouraging words can go a long way in brightening someone’s day.
Pick Up Litter During Walks
Carry a trash bag on your walks to clean up your community while enjoying the outdoors.

A sincere compliment can greatly uplift someone’s mood.

Surprise a friend or colleague with their favorite coffee.
Call a Loved One
Simply telling someone you love them can mean more than you realize.

Go through your wardrobe and donate clothes you no longer wear to those in need. There are many people who would appreciate what you no longer use.

Going out of your way to help someone with their bags or by holding the door can make a big difference.
