World Happiness Day – Nov 13 at Capital

Capital will celebrate World Happiness Day tomorrow, i.e. Nov 13 2016.

On this day especially, we want to honor everyone who is making a positive difference in the world by showing kindness, compassion, and respect–and also encourage people to practice extra efforts of kindness in their daily lives.

These are some of the examples of showing kindness :

Do something silly just to make someone smile
Smile at everyone you encounter
Tell your bus-driver or car-pooler how much you appreciate the ride
Listen to a friend who’s having a bad day and give him/her a hug
Pick up trash and throw it away (or recycle it!)
Stand up for someone who needs your help
Offer to give your mom or dad a back massage
Apologize to someone you were not very nice to
Praise someone in class when they answer a question well
Avoid sarcasm for a whole day
Turn a negative thought into a positive thought
Pass along a positive and friendly note to a buddy
Offer to make (and clean up) dinner
Offer to help a friend with their homework, even on your free time
Wear something unique or “uncool” to school and inspire others to do the same
Rake fallen leaves or shovel snow for an elderly person
Phone or Skype a grandparent or relative
Keep your word when you say you’ll do something
Compliment another girl on her awesome, unique style
Clean up your room and donate unused items to a good cause
Do a chore without being asked
Ask your teacher if they need help, like wiping down the whiteboard
Look in the mirror and tell yourself how amazing you truly are!

Believe it or not, being kind actually raises your confidence and self-esteem…try it today and see how good you feel!
