Developing the Kindness Within Me

Structured Learning Experience Title

I. Rationale
a. Kindness is doing something and not expecting anything in return. Kindness is respect
and helping others without waiting for someone to help one back. It implies kindness no
matter what. A behavior marked by ethical characteristics, a pleasant disposition, and a
concern for others.
II. General Objectives
a. To develop the kindness within them that they don’t expect that they have.
b. To improved health and less stress. It’s widely documented that being kind can trigger a
release of the hormone oxytocin which has a number of physical and mental health
benefits as it can significantly increase a person’s level of happiness and reduce stress.
More recently though, it’s been found it plays a significant role in the cardiovascular
system, helping protect the heart by lowering blood pressure and reducing free radicals
and inflammation, which incidentally speed up the aging process.
III. Strategies
a. Group Activity
b. How to develop that kindness in you?
IV. Venue
a. Games (Indoor) ; Lecture (Indoor)
V. Time Frame
a. Preferably 1 Hour (plus 10 minutes, incase)
VI. Materials
a. White Board, White Board Marker(s),Yellow Paper (for the activity)
VII. Activity
a. Orientation
i. Introducing my(our)self to the class.
ii. Play the “strawberry shake” game inside the classroom.
iii. Discussion about how to develop that kindness in you.
b. Instructions
i. - The class must answer the question: For you, what is kindness?
c. Activity Proper
i. - The class is instructed to have a single whole yellow paper individually.
- In their yellow paper they right their names at the upper left part of the paper
then they will pass their papers to the reporter (Me).
- The reporter (Me) will give the named papers to each of the students without
letting anyone know whom they got. The students can’t have their own paper
they will get random names.
ii. They only have 5-10 minutes to right a kind letter to that certain person that
they have without letting anyone see their papers because this activity is only
between 2 (two) persons ONLY.
d. Processing
i. I will ask 5 students to read the letter that they have received without letting
anyone know who is the sender of that letter.
 ii. Question: “After reading that kind letter, What is your kind feedback to that
person?”
e. Data Analysis & Integration
i.
f. Closing Remarks
i. Just like every other positive trait, developing consistent kindness takes work.
This is especially true if it’s a new concept to you! So take it one day at a time.
Conquer your desire to turn a blind eye. Avoid the urge to say something mean.
Take the high road, listen to your conscience, and follow your heart! And
remember “Have courage and be kind”.
4 Easy Ways to Develop Kindness
In a world filled with misery, war, and anger, being kind to your neighbor can sometimes seem like a
foreign concept. Whether that neighbor lives directly next to you or in a bus shed two miles away,
it’s easy to overlook brotherhood.

However, it’s improbable that you’ll achieve true happiness without taking the happiness of others
into consideration.

If you’re struggling with showing kindness, take a step back. It’s important to show love and kindness
to others. They’ll live a better quality life, and you’ll receive kindness in return.

Adopt these approaches and see how easily you can develop greater kindness:

1. Walk a mile in someone else’s shoes. Avoiding someone’s need is a form of unkindness. Put
yourself in the other person’s shoes. What are they feeling? How are they coping?

Would you be able to manage under those same circumstances? Consider how you’d want to be
treated by others if you were in a similar situation. This is the best way to understand and appreciate
the struggles of others and the value of kindness.
Even when someone offends you, try to take the high road. Their reaction to you may be fueled by
something unknown to you. Give them the benefit of the doubt when you can.
2. Count your blessings. Spend time at the end of each day counting your blessings. Take a look at all
the positive things you’ve accomplished. Blessings develop from acts of kindness.

Avoid taking your blessings for granted! Perhaps the source of the kindness is unknown to you. It
could simply come from the universe. But know that it’s given to you with your best interest at
heart.
For every act of kindness you’ve been blessed with, try to pay it forward. If you count twenty
blessings today, be kind to others twenty times. After a while, you’ll automatically be kind to others.
3. Choose a sharing partner. Ask a friend or family member to become your sharing partner. Commit
to sharing every tangible gift or blessing with that person.

Develop the spirit of wanting others to experience the same kindness that you do.
If you buy yourself a slice of cake, split it with your sharing partner. The first few times might be
rough, especially if it’s your favorite cake! But keep at it!
Spend time sharing stories of kindness received from others. Reflecting on these situations can help
you feel grateful for everything good in your life. It also encourages you to share with those in need.
4. Smile at everyone you meet. As strange as it sounds, there’s a special power in a smile. Try it out
and see for yourself!

Just like every other positive trait, developing consistent kindness takes work. This is especially true
if it’s a new concept to you! So take it one day at a time. Conquer your desire to turn a blind eye.
Avoid the urge to say something mean. Take the high road, listen to your conscience, and follow
your heart!
