Apparently today is THE most depressing day of the year, coined ‘Blue Monday’. 💙 By the 3rd Monday in January, the joy from festivities of Christmas and New Year, along with cold rainy weather seems to take a toll on people! Be kind to yourself today #bluemonday #bekind
Congratulations to Helen, an alumna of The Psychology of Kindness and Well-being PGCert course @SussexUni. It's always lovely to hear about the wonderful things our alumni are up to!

Happy ‘Talk to a Stranger Week’!🙌 Talk to a stranger week is all about identifying an opportunity to increase one’s sense of connection and belonging✨ Why not try talking to a stranger this week… maybe you’ll make a new friend!😌🫶 #talktoastrangerweek #stranger #kindness
Day 5, of The Kindness Exchange!💌 Todays theme was ‘self-kindness’ with the question “what is an act of kindness you do for yourself ?”❤️ Today was the final day of our event. We’ve loved meeting all you lovely, KIND people this week!!🫶
Day 4 of The Kindness Exchange: friendliness, “can you recall a time you were friendly towards a stranger?”. We had to do things a little differently today due to the weather, but that didn’t stop people from expressing their friendliness!🌈❤️
A few wonderful messages we received from people to be passed onto strangers🫶it was so lovely to see such heartfelt messages that people wanted just a stranger to receive! There were lots of smiling faces leaving our stall today😌🫶🌈 #bekind
Day 3 of The Kindness Exchange: Gratitude, “how have you expressed your gratitude to your loved ones lately”. Today was a HUGE success! We had the gazebo up and pinned everyone’s answers up on vines to surround people with ways to express gratitude!🍃🫶
Day 2 of The Kindness Exchange: Generosity, “How have you been generous in the last week?”. Thank you to all the lovely GENEROUS people giving their time to us despite the weather! We hope our event brightened your day just a little bit!☀️🌈
Day 1 of The Kindness Exchange was super successful! The theme was ‘positivity’ with the question “what is one positive thing in your life currently?” . It was particularly lovely to see many people struggle to write just 1 positive thing they have in their life at the moment!💌
It's #WorldKindnessDay and the start of the @ShofficeComms #KindnessChallenge for 2023🏆 👂Day 1: Today’s task is to listen, really listen. Who will you make time for today? #7DaysOfKindness #Kindness

Thanks to the amazing @PearsFoundation for their generous support to make the centre a reality, and to @TeamKindnessUK for helping us get this groundbreaking work started in the first place. It's an exciting path for growing research on #kindness across our communities!
Did you know that acts of kindness benefit both the giver & the receiver? We’re thrilled that our academics have launched the first research centre in the UK dedicated to the study of kindness! ow.ly/spZJ50Nr7YF @CRESS_research @claudiahammond @GillianSocial @KindnessSussex

Yesterday, at the opening of @KindnessSussex , I met amazing software engineer @BNuseibeh. Bashar's approach to software development is humanistic: "Representations of the essence of being human ... must have a place in the software programs that we write and...we assemble" 👇🏽1/2

Of course - Robin says - #kindness can come from the bottom and from mobility and from communities. It’s very important to be able to ‘scale up’ kindness in different parts of society.
For #kindness to happen there needs to be some form of alignment between the system and the individual intention. It’s much easier to be kind in an organisation where the leadership is kind, and where kindness is valued, than in one where kindness is not seen as important.
The conversation moves to Dr Liz McDonnell @SussexSocCrim who studies generosity and how people give. She tells us how people are mobilised by empathy, they are also kind and ‘give’ out of dutifulness. She also speak about the importance of context, or of ‘system level kindness’.
Then @claudiahammond moves the conversation to PhD student Nicky McRudden at @SussexUBusiness - who is studying every day suffering at work. She says that kindness allows people to put up their hand and speak about their vulnerability.
Our founder, Robin Banerjee @CRESS_research tells us how he found the power of kindness, when he started to talk to secondary school children. It was much easier to unlock conversations about well-being when entered through the keys of kindness. Here is him telling us. 👇🏼
