Ayla Mirolo It’s just that easy. I mean yeah, it sounds funny, but it’s true. Just don’t be a dick and have consideration for the fact that everyone else has their own battles to fight without dealing with unnecessary negativity. L E A R N M O R E A B O U T AY L A :

Pam Galante Sometimes, one of the easiest ways to be kind is to show empathy for those who are different from you and remember that everyone’s journey of life differs from yours. L E A R N M O R E A B O U T PA M :

Bill Cunningham I am prone to self-loathing spirals so I have this mantra to lighten the load. There’s always tomorrow. Yeah, I ate too much and I feel like garbage. There’s always tomorrow. I didn’t floss. There’s always tomorrow. I was an irritable jerk today. There’s always tomorrow. Try it out. LEARN MORE ABOUT BILL:

Cecilia Rios Kindness starts within you, if you’re not okay, you can’t share it with others. So the biggest act of kindness you can do is to take care of yourself. LEARN MORE ABOUT CECILIA:

Courtney Macca It’s cool to be kind. It’s cool to care about one another. Kindness bridges the divide between us and fosters empathy and compassion. L E A R N M O R E A B O U T C O U R T N E Y:

Dominique Marshall Being kind begins with having the right mindset and remembering how much of a positive impact it can have, both to yourself and to others. A few of the ways I intend to be kind this year (both in business and personally) include: • Setting boundaries! I want to make sure I’m using my time effectively, aiming to not overwhelm myself and knowing when to say ‘no’ if something doesn’t sit right with me • Being supportive of those around me and with people I work with (as everyone can do with a helping hand!) • Having a consistent self-care routine, not letting it slip, and remembering that taking breaks is *just* as important as getting the work done. Ain’t nobody got time for burnout!

Kristen Girard Technically, the lyrics are “cruel to be kind” not “cool to be kind”...but 9 year old me sang it as “cool to be kind” while watching 10 Thing I Hate About You....so yeah...cool to be kind... Letters to Cleo - Cruel To Be Kind LEARN MORE ABOUT KRISTEN:

This is a quote I like from Adventure Time that I try to implement in my life (with varying results). Obviously it’s great to commit to causes, to donate and to volunteer — but small everyday kindnesses towards friends and family are just as valuable (and often more challenging).
