Inspiring Kindness in National Random Acts of Kindness Week @MasterLockCo

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

In honor of National Random Acts of Kindness Week (February 13-19), Master Lock is doing a variety of things to encourage folks not to give up on their New Year’s resolutions to stay fit and active. At the same time, they want to use this week to encourage consumers to commit small acts of kindness by committing one of their own. During that week, Master Lock will be surprising consumers in 6 different markets across the country and simply handing out completely free locks along with a little nice, inspirational note.

They will also be hosting giveaways during this week on their Facebook page.

cts of kindness, the company has created the following set of tips to help consumers strategically adapt to their new lifestyles and make their New Year’s resolutions permanent habits:

Write It Down…and Share It. Simply thinking through your resolutions and storing them mentally isn’t going to ensure you stay committed. Having a list of goals in your organizer, smart phone, or social media profile that you can easily access and share will reinforce your promise to yourself and spur encouragement from your followers and friends.
Get the right gear. Whether your goals revolve around getting back in the gym or being more organized at home, having the right products to help you succeed is a must. For organization, the 7148D document storage box can help keep important documents safely filed away. To securely organize your digital life, register for a free account at masterlockvault.com to safely store your user names, passwords and other confidential data for easy access anytime, anywhere. Getting good shoes, proper work-out wear, and a new gym lock such as the 1534D Password lock will help reinvigorate your enthusiasm to exercise.
Do it for a Month. In order for a new behavior to become a habit, you must stick to it for at least thirty days. Setting this small goal will make achieving your overall resolution more realistic. Plus, you can be encouraged when you’ve reached the one-month mark and assess your progress.
Keep a Journal. Commit to writing one to two sentences about your progress toward your goals each day. Keeping a written record of how you’re doing will keep your resolution top of mind and motivate you to continue to make changes.
One Step at a Time. Don’t set too many goals and then try tackling them all at once. Make one goal your priority and focus on changing your habits to achieve it. Once you’ve mastered it, set your sights on two additional goals, giving yourself realistic timelines to achieve them and go from there.

During National Random Acts of Kindness Week, Master Lock will be surprising gym-goers in six cities with the innovative 1534D Password lock to encourage them to stick to their fitness resolutions and spread a little kindness. The lock is ideal for safely storing your personal belongings during a workout and will be distributed at the following markets:

Chicago, Illinois
Los Angeles, California
San Francisco, California
New York, New York
Dallas, Texas
Miami, Florida

Consumers outside of the six markets can also get in on the fun and celebrate National Random Acts of Kindness week by visiting Master Lock’s Facebook page to enter for a chance to win prizes, including the 1534D Password Locks and Visa gift cards.

What Kindness means to Me

As a parent I am always trying to teach my daughters about the importance of being kind to others as well as sharing and giving back to others even if they have never given you anything in return. There have been so many moments for which kindness has occurred within my life. Sometimes this is something simple like a slight offer of help, a gift or a unknown benefactor. Though these are many times little things, the return on all of these are HUGE in the long run and what I always find in the end for me it is the intrinsic rewards that I receive from kindness that I give that sustains me most!

What about you, what examples of kindness have been given to you, or what have you done in the past to share a kindness?
