We love research into kindness and the Be Kind Movement are currently running a kindness survey so we had to tell you about it!

Head over to the Be Kind Movement’s website to take part: https://www.bekindmovement.co.uk/kindness-unlocked .

We can’t wait to discover what they learn about just how common kindness is and how it shows up in the world.

BEST STOICS

A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It’s a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity

A whole #Somerset village showed kindness this summer - what kindness did you see during your holidays?

“My husband and I arrived at a lovely village in Somerset and would be joined by our daughter and family for the week. On arrival, we were advised of local fete and popped down. Everyone was so welcoming
and friendly. We were advised of places to visit and explore. Wonderful!

Periodic reminder: Hate takes effort to maintain.

If it weren't for constant effort by fashy people to lie about Black folk, Brown folk, women, immigrants, trans folk, etc, that most people would choose *not* to support fashy people.

Fascism requires an ongoing cost. Kindness is free!

And kindness is not weakness.

If you see fashy people attacking Black people, or immigrants, or trans folk, it's not kindness to say, "We should all get along!"🤡

That's weakness.

It's kindness to put yourself between the people with less power than yourself, and the people that want to hurt them.

I agree with you minus one piece:
Kindness + empathy *can* be work / can be hard for people to muster.
Kindness + empathy need to be learned, practiced, + reinforced too.

We’ll be at Brighton Wellness Festival on 4th October!

Head kindness cheerleader, Sarah, will be running a session on radical noticing alongside Helen.

The workshop is just the kind of thing Sarah runs for business & other groups which aims to inspire you to see all the ways kindness shows up in your life already. And then you can use that to feel more positive & hopeful.

A few years ago, I was in the nicest traffic jam ever.

Three or four cars were stopped in both directions on a very busy two lane road to wait for a Canadian military officer to carry a turtle across the lanes towards the river. Then we all waited for him to cross back to his car and let him pull back onto the road ahead of us.

Help us get Monica’s gratitude to the mystery kindness superhero at the The Gate Clock!

“I would like to say a very big thank you, to the lovely person who handed my mum's rucksack in to the bar of The Gate Clock Wetherspoons in Greenwich on Monday 15th September.
We had left the pub before she realised it was missing. It made our family day-out even more special, when it could have been ruined. Thank you.”

Please boost so the mystery person can see that their #kindness made a difference!
