What Are Random Acts of Kindness?
Random acts of kindness are often spur-of-the-moment actions meant to brighten someones day. This could be towards strangers, towards loved ones, or someone in your community. You might've been first introduced to random acts of kindness in grade school as a way for teachers to educate their students about the importance of kindness.
Random acts of kindness are just as important in adulthood as they were when you were a kid. They are a way to offer hope to those who might need it. They can be the very thing that turns a person's bad day into a good one.
Incorporating more random acts of kindness into your daily routine forces you to examine your normal interactions with people. Do you naturally approach others with kindness or do you match the energy they're putting out? Think about how you normally interact with strangers and people you know—if you don't love what comes up, take this as your sign to start consciously being kinder to others.
What Are 10 Random Acts of Kindness?
Random acts of kindness can be really small or really large. There are a million different things you can do to brighten someone's day.
These 10 simple random acts of kindness can be done anytime and don't require much time or money:
- Hold the door for someone who's walking behind you
- Give up your seat for someone that needs it more
- Compliment a stranger
- Send a text to someone you've lost touch with and ask how they're doing
- Make a cup of tea for your roommate
- Write a letter to a relative
- Make a donation to a local charity
- Bake a dessert for your neighbors
- Say good morning to anyone you pass on the street
- Tell someone you're proud of them
Commit to conducting at least one random act of kindness a day and notice how your perspective on the world begins to change.
How to Spread Sunshine and Positive Vibes
Random acts of kindness are one method of spreading sunshine. Spreading sunshine is essentially approaching each day with a positive outlook and encouraging others to do the same.
It doesn't necessarily mean you're happy and bubbly all the time. It means you're empathetic and patient. You listen to the people you interact with and work to help people where you can.
To spread sunshine, you should treat everyone you meet with kindness. You truly don't know what someone is going through—giving someone the benefit of the doubt when they are unpleasant toward you can help them work through their negativity.
Spreading sunshine is also putting others before yourself. Think of ways that you can give back to your community and think of how your decisions will affect those around you. Being kind also can make you feel good. It's nice to know you're the reason someone had a good day.
Why is Positivity Important?
It might feel easier to mind your business and go about your life. Bad days happen and you can't be expected to be positive every single day.
While all of that is true, there are benefits that come with being positive:
- Improvement of mental health. Having a positive outlook on life can improve your mental health. It can reduce stress and increase serotonin.
- Strengthens relationships. Being positive can also strengthen the relationships you have with people in your life. People who approach life with a positive outlook and make an effort to spread sunshine are generally more pleasant to be around.
- Makes you more resilient. Having a natural tendency towards positivity prepares you to handle hardships. You don't immediately think of the worst case scenario and focus on how hard it's going to be to get through tough times. Instead, you have confidence in yourself to persevere and can come up with a plan to work through setbacks.
- Strengthens decision-making skills. Positivity can make you a better decision-maker. You're able to remove yourself from the situation and choose what's best for the most people. You'll have more confidence in yourself and have an easier time trusting your gut.
At the end of the day, spreading sunshine and leading with positive energy makes you a better person. When you take yourself out of the equation and care about others, you'll notice an improvement in your life.
How Does CONQUERing Spread Sunshine?
As a brand who promotes positivity, it's important that we practice what we preach. There are a few ways that show our commitment to spreading sunshine:
- Fidget jewelry designs that promote positive energy
- Connecting with our SuperFans
- Giving back through charity
- Fostering community
Fidget Jewelry that Promotes Positive Vibes
An easy way for us to spread sunshine is through our fidget jewelry. We have quite a few products that feature positive messages.

These designs remind us to lead with good vibes and inspire others to lead their own lives with kindness:
- YOU GOT THIS. The YOU GOT THIS design reminds you of everything you're capable of. It's encouragement to not give up as soon as things get hard. It's a reminder that you can get through anything thrown your way. As long as you have a positive attitude, nothing can truly tear you down.
- Smiley Face. The yellow enamel smiley face is essentially the symbol of positivity. They say smiling is contagious—you can use your fidget jewelry to encourage others to smile more. It's hard to let the bad things get you down when you're wearing a smiley face.
- Be Happy. The Be Happy design reminds us that sometimes we need to choose to be happy. Life can be very hard. There will be times where you're sad or upset and happiness is nowhere to be found. It can get to a point where you have to choose to be happy. You need to let go of what's weighing you down and decide to only focus your energy on what brings you happiness.
- Peridot Crystal. Peridot crystals have powerful positive energy. They are associated with positivity, emotional balance, health, joy, and creativity. It is believed that when you wear Peridot crystal jewelry, you'll find it easier to be positive and will want to spread sunshine.
Powerful Connection Between a Brand and its Consumers
Another way CONQUERing is committed to spreading sunshine is by building powerful connections with the people that buy our fidget jewelry. There isn't a day that goes by where we aren't incredibly grateful for the people who have helped us get to where we are today.
One method of connecting with our SuperFans is through an initiative called Sunshine Swaps. Tammy Nelson, ,CONQUERing's CEO, sets up 15-minute calls with three SuperFans a month as a chance for them to share their feedback and receive some free jewelry of their choice.
We do as our SuperFans to make a $25 donation that we match to one of three supported charities to share the importance of giving back.
Spreading Sunshine through Charitable Donations
In addition to giving back to charity through our Sunshine Swaps program, we also donate 5% of our profits to organizations that share our mission of empowerment. Since our launch in 2020, we've developed relationships with local, national, and global organizations whose causes are important to us.
The ConquerCares program gives us a way to uplift and offer strength to people who need it all around the world. We want people who buy our fidget jewelry to know that they are supporting a company that is committed to helping those around us.
Fostering Community with Fidget Jewelry Fanatics
When we started CONQUERing so many years ago, we didn't know how big it would grow. We never imagined that we would uncover so many fidget jewelry fanatics who formed their own community.
At first, we began to notice people making connections in the comments of our social media posts. People would meet up to swap elements, share why fidget jewelry is important to them, and would hype each other up.
This led to the creation of The CONQUERing Collective. It's a Facebook group where fans of the brand can post their fidget jewelry combinations of the day, make new virtual and real-life friends, uplift one another when they're going through hard times, and interact directly with members of the ConquerCrew.
It's amazing to watch our SuperFans spread sunshine in the Facebook group. They inspire us to pass the good vibes on in our own lives.
Commit to Spreading Sunshine Everyday
You'll be amazed by how your life changes when you commit to spreading sunshine everyday. The world won't feel so isolated and you'll make connections with people you never thought you would.
