Are you looking for things to do this spring break? Maybe you need some ideas for your kids? Or perhaps you don’t even get a spring break but need something new in your life? You should try a 7 day kindness challenge.

I recently read the book, The Five Side Effects of Kindness, by David R. Hamilton PhD. He had a fantastic idea at the end of his book – a 7 day kindness challenge. I thought it was the perfect way to incorporate new activities into our spring break.

His idea is simple. Do something kind for seven consecutive days. There are only a few rules.

1. You should do something different every day.
2. It can’t all be easy. You have to get uncomfortable at least once. Not dangerous – just do something that challenges you to grow in a new direction.
3. On at least one of the days, you shouldn’t get any credit for the kindness. It should be anonymous.

That’s it. Now go have fun. I will post our activities starting next week.

Do you have any ideas of ways to be kind?
