Celebrate National Random Acts of Light Day: Spread Joy and Brighten Someone's Day!

✨ Celebrate National Random Acts of Light Day! ✨

On June 13th, we come together to spread joy and kindness with spontaneous acts of light, brightening the lives of others. Originating from the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, this day aims to raise awareness and support for those battling blood cancers, but its spirit extends to everyone.

For those practicing Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, participating in this day can be an excellent form of Contribute, a distress tolerance skill. Engaging in acts of kindness not only benefits others but can also be a powerful way to distract oneself from intense emotions.

Additionally, this day serves as a great opportunity for behavioral activation, a therapeutic strategy used to combat depression by encouraging engagement in meaningful and positive activities. By participating in acts of kindness, people can experience a sense of accomplishment and purpose, which can significantly improve mood and overall well-being.
