Do Something Nice Day

Today is "Do Something Nice Day." It is always celebrated on October 5th. Go ahead, do something nice, anything nice. And, do it to, or for, another individual. It doesn't hurt... we promise. In keeping with the spirit of this day, set a goal to do something nice for someone. Perhaps, you can do this for several people. Then, sit back and watch the results of your positive actions!

Doing something nice for someone almost always evokes a very pleasant response. At the very least, it results in a smile. More likely, that person will do something nice to, or for you. And, best of all, doing something nice just might be contagious.

It makes your neighbors and everyone who lives at, visits or drives by your commercial property smile if you have a beautiful landscape. You could do something nice every day of the year.

It would be ideal if everyone lived their lives doing something nice, or doing nice things, on a daily basis and without thinking about it.  Today serves as a reminder to us all, as it is easy to get caught up with hectic schedules and fast paced lifestyles, to stop for a moment and do something nice.

Do something nice.  The “something” can be “anything” from buying a cup of coffee for someone in line at the coffee shop, giving a compliment to the tired clerk, sending flowers with a card that says “just because,” asking the neighbors over for a barbecue in your backyard or mowing the lawn for someone else.   Use the hashtag #DoSomethingNiceDay to post on social media.

Here Are Some Ideas:

Invite some friends over for a dinner party. Even if you’re not a phenomenal cook or a seasoned entertainer, taking the time and effort to nourish people is a simple kindness.

Volunteer at a local animal shelter. Whether you’re taking stray dogs for a walk or playing with kittens, you’ll enjoy the afternoon as much as Fido and Fluffy.

Informally mentor someone. Take an intern to lunch, your little sister shopping or a younger friend on a hike. You don’t need to show someone a Power Point presentation to influence them, use your time and your attention to learn more about their goals and have a sincere conversation about your personal life experiences and how they can help your junior friends.

National Do Something Nice Day is very similar to National Random Acts of Kindness Day, which is celebrated on February 17.

“Real generosity is doing something nice for someone who will never find out” ~ Frank A. Clark
