5 things to do to spread positivity
Here are five activities you can do on Good Deeds Day to spread positivity in your community.
1. Host a charity: Ask your co-workers and supervisors for non-perishable items to donate to a good cause. Donate small amounts of soap, shampoo, deodorant and other items to organizations that could use them.
2. Act of apology: Put aside your pride and express regret for every wrong deed, no matter how small.
3. Be kind: Give a double portion of something delicious that can be frozen to an elderly neighbor who no longer cooks for himself. Give your used jars to a charity so they can be reused.
4. Educate kids: Participate in a literacy program to teach reading to children or adults.
5. Save water: When shaving, brushing your teeth, or doing the dishes, turn off the tap since every drop counts.
