Where is National Be An Angel Day celebrated?
National Be an Angel Day is celebrated in the USA to honor the angel in all of us.
People who believe in random acts of kindness and want to spread positivity around them by being kind to others participate in the celebration of this day.
The day was first observed on August 22, 1993, to express gratitude to the real-life angels in society.
Jaune Howard Feldman first observed this holiday for the good cause of supporting people through kindness.
Angels have been a part of civilizations throughout history, and humans recognize them as otherworldly beings who protect and spread positivity. Let's read about the history of angels!
This is the day to celebrate others before yourself. Show people you are blessed for everything they do to you by giving them a hug or a thank you note. Reach out to someone struggling with a kind word and a little help. Every action of yours will make a difference!
Celebrate this day by thanking someone who has been an angel to you in your time of need. Promise yourself to use kind words and engage in small acts of kindness throughout the year. Volunteer for a charity or an NGO of your choice. Be kind to your family and friends and perform a random act of kindness for a stranger. Remember, the key is not to have expectations while supporting a person. You can pay for someone's bus ticket, buy a person coffee, or give your train seat to someone else. Also, forgive a person who hurt you in the past and influence others to do the same. It doesn't take much to perform these good deeds, and the smile you put on others' faces serves as your biggest reward. You become a better person in the process.
The day is to celebrate small acts of kindness and the good things in the world.
Random Act of Kindness Day encourages acts of kindness by everyone, whereas the former celebrates the angel in you by encouraging people to put a smile on other people's faces.
A small act of kindness can increase happiness and make a person feel blessed. This day has a huge psychological impact as people feel an angel watches over them.
This day was first celebrated on August 22, 1993, by Jaune Howard Feldman to honor the impact of kind words and good deeds.
This day reminds us that though there may not be actual angels in the world (depending upon your beliefs), people can be one by showing support and encouraging others.
