These Easy Acts Of Goodwill Help Your Fellow Humans—and You Too.
1 Say thank you (and mean it).
An intentional act of gratitude— acknowledging and appreciating a person, whether it’s someone you know or a stranger—is one of the most effective ways to boost well-being for both the giver and the receiver of this kindness. My organization encourages and studies kindness, and a hospital administrator once told us about thanking a janitor in the middle of the hallway. The janitor teared up and said that no one had ever thanked him during his many years there. The administrator’s voice swelled with emotion as she told us the story. Gratitude goes a long way.
