Kindness Cards
Looking for a quick, fun way to flex your empathy skills? Write someone a kind note. No need to pen a novel—a few lines can make a big impact. Here’s how:
1. Gather your supplies.
All you need is pen and paper. If you want to go the extra mile, decorate your note with doodles or stickers.
2. Draft your message.
Are you thanking a friend? Supporting someone through a hard time? Say why you’re writing: “I know you’re stressed with your own work, but you still made time to help me study.” Then express what the person means to you: “You’re an awesome friend!”
3. Deliver your note.
Pop it in the mail (don’t forget a stamp!), slip it into the recipient’s locker, leave it on their desk, or simply hand it to them directly.
