Welcome to February’s Mindful Minute! The focus for this month is random acts of kindness.

We tend to get wrapped up in the crazy pace of our days, our lives, and forget simple considerations. This month’s challenge is to take a moment to do small, simple things that can have such a big impact. Something as simple as buying someone a cup of coffee can trigger a ripple effect of good vibes! When you do this, you also have a positive impact on yourself. Performing small acts of kindness helps stop the negative self-talk and critical judgment that many of us experience throughout the day. That carries through to our interaction with co-workers and family.

Check out the February Random Acts of Kindness calendar for ideas. Give them a try — be a positive trend-setter!
