April 8 - Signs of Joy

Day 98 of a year of Kindness

I put up positive yard signs today. If people can decorate their homes in hateful slogans, I am determined to offer an alternative version. In my New Year’s quest to be kind, I’ve realized that kindness has a stronger power than I previously comprehended. Hate can’t win with love in its way. Love and kindness must come out of the shadows. One yard sign at a time. One step at a time. One action at a time.

Science of kindness: Research shows that putting up affirmations - yard signs or stickies on your computer screen - is kind because it improves mental health. Putting a sign on your property is like planting positivity seeds in your yard. You are aligning your outer world with your values. Living in alignment with your values boosts self-esteem and well being. Seeing a positive sign everyday reinforces a positive mindset. It can also create a sense of connection (hopefully good) with the neighbors or those who pass by your signs. #kindness #kindnessiscontagious #10kindnessclub #kindnessisfree #lovewins #bekind #etsy
