<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Wellness Program Participants:<br>
Happy World Kindness Day! In a world that often seems fast-paced and filled with challenges, taking a moment to practice kindness can have a profound impact on both individuals and communities. Small acts of kindness can create a ripple effect, inspiring
others to do the same. Today, I encourage you to join the global movement by performing acts of kindness, no matter how big or small. Here are some ideas to get you started:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><b>Smile:</b> A simple smile can brighten someone's day and create a positive atmosphere around you.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><b>Random Acts of Kindness:</b> Surprise someone with a small gift, a compliment, or a helping hand when they least expect it.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><b>Donate:</b> Consider donating to a charity or volunteering your time to help those in need.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><b>Express Gratitude:</b> Take a moment to express your gratitude to those who have made a positive impact on your life.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><b>Listen:</b> Show empathy by listening to someone who needs to talk, offering a compassionate ear.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><b>Spread Positivity:</b> Share inspiring and kind messages on social media to promote a culture of kindness.<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Acts of kindness can also be for yourself; the Nourish Wellness Challenge provides the opportunity to not only perform healthy activities, but they can also help be kind to yourself. If you have not signed up to participate in the challenge,
please visit <a href="https://ucriverside.thenourishgarden.com/welcome">Nourish - Welcome (thenourishgarden.com)</a> to sign up and participate as an individual or a team of 3-5 people.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Remember that kindness is a universal language that transcends boundaries, cultures, and backgrounds. By spreading love and compassion, we can make our world a better place for everyone. Let's make World Kindness Day a day to remember by
coming together to create a more caring and compassionate world. I encourage you to share your acts of kindness on social media using the hashtag #WorldKindnessDay to inspire others to do the same. Wishing you a day filled with kindness, and may it continue
throughout the year. Together, we can make a difference. Thank you.<o:p></o:p></p>
