Here's an easy way to fit in a random act of kindness. and it literally takes two minutes.
There's a nonprofit called Mental Health America that's been around for over 100 years, and they recently launched a new program that lets you send inspirational text messages to total strangers.
It's called "Text for Humanity." Here's how it works: You join with just your name, and then compose a short, uplifting message that will be sent to another user somewhere in the world. Then, you'll get an uplifting message in return!
You have to opt into get the texts, so the messages will only go to people who want them (no spam texts), and your phone number remains private. Over 10,000 messages have already been sent so far!
If you want to try it out, just text the word "JOIN" to the number 37352. You'll receive a response text with further instructions/info.
