World Kindness Day is today. It’s an international holiday that celebrates those who give back to others without expecting anything back in return. This holiday was created in 1988 by the World Kindness Movement with the goal of encouraging people around the world to look past boundaries to be kind to one another. Anyone can participate in World Kindness Day 2017 by taking a moment to be kind to people you come in contact with throughout the day.

2. Send an email to a co-worker sharing how grateful you are for their efforts. Brighten up your coworkers day by pointing out the great job they did on a recent project or that you’re grateful they always make another pot of coffee when they take the last cup.
