A nonprofit organization called “Mental Health America” has launched a great new program called “Text for Humanity” that lets you send inspirational text messages to total strangers. And if you do it, a random person texts YOU an uplifting message. Just text the word “JOIN” to the number 37352.  It takes about one minute to join.  You text your first name, the country you’re from and a short, uplifting message that’s no more than 160 characters. A random person somewhere in the world will get it.  Then you’ll get a positive message from someone else a few minutes later.

Something so powerful, that you can do quickly that could make the difference in someone’s day.  It also serves as a great reminder to check in on your friends and loved ones that may be dealing with depression and loneliness and send them a message as well.  A few moments of kindness can make a huge difference.
