💕 Random Acts of Kindness Day 💕

A random act of kindness is a spontaneous, selfless act intended to brighten someone else’s day, with no agenda or expectation.

It’s a day to throw some goodness out into the world…and we all need a bit of this right now!

The phrase is widely attributed to Anne Herbert, who wrote in 1982 in Sausalito, “Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.”

Kindness has been shown to increase:
❤️ Oxytocin (the connection hormone)
⚡ Energy
😃 Happiness
🎉 Pleasure (via dopamine)
😁 Serotonin

Kindness can also reduce:
😣 Perceived pain
🤯 Stress
😟 Anxiety
😞 Symptoms of depression
🩸 Blood pressure

There’s even research linking regular acts of kindness and volunteering with longer, healthier lives.

Kindness doesn’t just change someone else’s day…it changes yours too!

We’d love to know…
What random act of kindness have you done today?
Or has someone shown you unexpected kindness? 💕

Since 2022, we’ve run 20+ wellbeing retreats for loads of awesome groups including veterans, the wider armed forces community and the police.

In 6 weeks, I am hosting our first ever ‘Women in the Armed Forces Community’ retreat and I’m so bloody EXCITED!

This fabulous group will be made up of:

⭐️ Serving personnel
⭐️ Veterans
⭐️ Family members
⭐️ Reservists
⭐️ Cadet Force Adult Volunteers

As it’s the first all-women YourNorth retreat, we wanted it to be extra special.

So, we have teamed up with a fabulous organisation who are joining us to deliver an afternoon of empowerment & fun…more will be revealed soon 🤩

If you have registered your interest to attend this retreat, keep an eye on your emails this afternoon!

We recently had the pleasure of spending the day with this amazing group of women from the veteran community, qualifying them as First Aiders for Mental Health 🧠💚

We chatted about so much, including:

🔹 signs & symptoms of a range of mental health conditions

🔹 how to start a potentially difficult conversation

🔹 when, where and how to signpost someone for professional help

Special shout out to Female Veterans Alliance for booking us to run this course for their community 💚

⚠️ We are not ‘box tickers’ - this course will potentially save lives ⚠️

Over the next few hours, social media will be full of photos - matching PJs, piles of presents, immaculate tablescapes, fun times & happy get togethers.

And we bloody love seeing it all!
We genuinely do.

Are we in matching PJs?
Nope! Tbh we’re grateful (and surprised!) that the Littlest North has clothes on 🫣

Is our house spotless & clutter free?
Absolutely not - there’s crap everywhere and we defo need to run the hoover around!

Gentle reminder that a photo is a snapshot of a moment in time, so please be kind with yourself, especially during a potentially stressful time.

We all do things in a different way.
And that’s ok.
It’s more than ok.

And what you have done is enough.

We wish you all a peaceful few days, celebrated or not celebrated however you choose to do so.

🎄 Merry Christmas from Team Farr🎄
