Giving Ideas Shared On TikTok #kindness on purpose

Have you seen the great giving ideas shared on TikTok? TikTok started as a 30 second video social media platform that brought a ton of fun to many many people. Most people danced, others lipsynced, but lately there has been a lot of kindness and giving stories shared. Our favorite hashtag on TikTok this week is #kindnessonpurpose. What we do is this. We find an inspiring 30 second TikTok video and share it with a bunch of people as our give of the day. It lets others take a break for 30 seconds and be inspired to give to someone else either by sharing the video or completely a small act of giving that fits into their day.

Sharing Kindness Spreads Kindness

The scientific term for ‘sharing kindness spreads kindness’ is called positive conformity. It is also referred to as kindness contagion. An article in Scientific America explored positive conformity and concluded that people imitate not only the particulars of positive actions, but also the spirit underlying them. This implies is that kindness itself is contagious, and that that it can cascade across people, taking on new forms along the way. To be a potent social force, positive conformity requires such flexibility.

Use the videos below to share kindness with others. It can be your give for the day, a means to inspire others to start a giving practice or share some genuine happiness.
