Identifying Acts of Kindness

Because we so easily fall into a rut in thinking there are only a few ways to be kind, we want you to read through the whole list of the Acts of Kindness Planner (see the Appendix). As you do, put a letter in the “To Try” column to indicate those you would most like to try. Be sure to include acts that you can do for both people you already know and for strangers. Put an “A” for those you would most like to try, a “B” for those that aren’t quite as high on your list, and a “C” for those you would like to consider again at some point. 

In the future, after you have tried any of those that you check, there are also columns where you can put in a grade (A, B, C, D, etc.) to indicate how much of a positive impact you think doing the kind act had on you (the “On Self” column) and on any others that the kind act was for or were affected in some way (the “On Other” column).
