“How Journaling About Kindness Transforms Your Perspective”

Sophie loved to write in her journal every night, but one evening, she felt a little sad. She didn’t know what to write. Then, her mom suggested, “Why don’t you write about one kind thing you did today?” Sophie thought hard. “Hmm… I helped my friend pick up her books when she dropped them.” As she wrote, she began to feel warm inside. The more she wrote, the more she realized how many little acts of kindness she had done without even thinking about it. The next day, Sophie made a goal: to do three kind things and write them down. By the end of the week, Sophie was amazed at how much kindness was in her life. It wasn’t just big things—it was the little things like smiling at someone who was sad or sharing a snack with a classmate. Writing about kindness made Sophie see that even on difficult days, there was always something good to focus on. Journaling helped Sophie realize how much love and care she could bring into the world, one kind act at a time. Writing about kindness changed the way she saw herself and the world, reminding her to always be kind.
