Every January, we’re invited into a moment of reflection. We look back at the year behind us—what worked, what didn’t, what stretched us—and we look forward with hope. We set goals to be healthier, more productive, more successful. But what if this year, we chose a resolution that doesn’t just change us—but changes the world around us?
What if your number one New Year’s resolution was KINDNESS?
Why Kindness Belongs at the Top of Your List
Kindness isn’t soft. It isn’t passive. And it certainly isn’t small.
Intentional Kindness is a daily practice—a decision to lead with compassion, even when it’s inconvenient. It’s the courage to slow down in a rushed world, to listen when it would be easier to scroll, to respond with grace instead of defensiveness.
When you connect with the The Kindness Movement, you’re stepping into something bigger than individual good intentions. You’re joining a growing community of people who believe that intentional kindness can create real, lasting change.
When kindness becomes a priority—and a shared value—something powerful happens:
Relationships deepen
Stress softens
Communities feel safer
Hope becomes visible
Kindness creates ripples. Together, those ripples become waves.
A Resolution You Can Actually Keep
Many New Year’s resolutions fade by February because they’re built on pressure or perfection. Kindness is different. It meets you exactly where you are.
You don’t have to do everything. You just have to do something—and keep showing up.
Kindness looks like:
Offering patience to yourself on a hard day
Saying thank you—and meaning it
Checking in on someone who’s been quiet
Letting someone merge in traffic
Choosing empathy when you don’t fully understand
When you connect with The Kindness Movement, you’re reminded—daily—that these small acts matter. You’re encouraged, supported, and inspired to keep going.
Start With Yourself (Yes, YOU Count)
One of the most overlooked forms of kindness is self-kindness.
As the year begins, give yourself permission to:
Rest without guilt
Celebrate progress, not perfection
Speak to yourself the way you would to someone you love
When kindness starts internally, it naturally extends outward. You become more grounded, more patient, more open-hearted.
Make It Intentional
Kindness doesn’t have to be random to be meaningful. In fact, it’s most powerful when it’s intentional and shared.
Try this:
Choose a word for the year—like compassion, connection, or gentleness
Set a daily or weekly kindness intention
Reflect on how kindness showed up in your day
Share your kindness moments to inspire others
When you engage with The Kindness Movement, you’re not just practicing kindness—you’re helping normalize it, celebrate it, and spread it.
If kindness is your New Year’s resolution, don’t keep it to yourself.
