Leaving a blurry stain on your camera lens makes you very uncool... sorry guys, hope it's not too distracting.

1. Including others (like stepping back so everyone is levelled at a crosswalk) 2. Waiting on others to tie their shoes 3. Holding doors for others (at just the right time) 4. Caring about the things you say (like asking someone to text they got home and asking if they forget to) 5. Listening to others (instead of turning the conversa on yourself) 6. Wishing happy birthday at midnight 7. Hyping up someone’s music taste 8. Noticing changes to someone’s appearance 9. Asking if somebody wants anything when you go to the store 10. Getting excited when others get excited 11. Introducing acquaintances when you bump into each other and they don’t know them (rather than letting your company standing there) 12. Scooting over to make room on seats 13. Saying the nice things you think about people 14. Listening to others speaking 15. Letting others in line with only a few items to buy 16. Helping your community with things others don’t do (like picking up stuff) 17. Letting other in when there’s traffic 18. Greeting others 19. Asking to help others struggling 20. Offering snacks 21. Remembering details about what others say 22. Smiling at dogs 23. Asking others to join rather than just offering them 24. Getting back to others about stuff they recommended 25. Being patient with others 26. Hyping other’s progress 27. Smiling at others I missed two but these are basically the main points

I've noticed how Lana's comment section is filled with self-reflective people-- we all are together in this journey to improve ourselves and become a better person, and Lana too. She doesn't portray herself as a high perfect figure, the audience doesn't idolise her, she doesn't want that either. She is just a part of this, this is real community. The comment section is not vague like others. You should be proud of creating such a positive audience, very few are able to connect this deeply with their audience. I'll say this is one of the biggest achievements one can achieve. Thank you Lana!

I always thought I was super uncool. That people cringed at the idea of my company. But after watching this video, realizing I consistently have done 26 of these since I was ten, and taking a minute to reflect, I think I'm ready to accept that people may enjoy being around me.

Say hi, please, and thank you These are some great pieces of advice, Lana. The world would be a better place if there were more considerate people.

If I was a psychologist I would recommend your channel to my patients. You videos are comforting as they're enlightening. Simple but profound and impactful and yet so inspiring. And your calming voice is a major plus. Because of you I've learned to talk a bit slowly and softly. Can't thank you enough. You're a blessing to me and many others.💖💞

her voice is literally so comforting like i would put on a video of her reading a story sk that i could fall asleep to it at night

This made me feel amazing about myself. I'm constantly putting myself down but I do so many of these things even if the people I'm doing them for don't seem to appreciate it. I just grew up doing these things so they're quite normal to me. Of course I don't do them all so I can always improve

Small kindness is a seed of love that beautifies our current society that desperately desires care and compassion for each other. My favorite out of the 29 was a difference b/w saying "I would like you to join." and "You can join if you want." Especially, this small difference would make an important impact in our everyday conversations with others. Small kindness is how we can support one another and something anyone can do. Thanks, Lana, for demonstrating this. (Sorry to keep editing my comment here. But your influence seems to be continuing to grow in my mind.)

Sounds like the biggest thing is just being considerate and inclusive. We need more of this.

Nice video ... I'm a 72 year old male and I consider everything you've mentioned as living a normal happy life. We all fail from time to time but living your life this way will leave you with a warm feeling inside more often then not.

you never miss about making a video that can make a good impact to your viewers! i love you, lana. you're such a pure soul. 😭❤️

This video made my day. I love how you think, Lana!! 🦋

I find astonishing how a single video pushed me to follow this channel when that hadn't happened before. It says a lot about the level of salutary that the creator drives in their content. Looking forward to devour more of your wholesome videos. Blessings and thank you profusely for all of these advices, Lana. 💚

I always want to make people feel they are being noticed, that they are valued :) Its the sweetest thing a person can do to another person.

Basically, just be more attentive, considerate, genuine and kind. People with a good heart will do all of these, of course, not All the time, life is life, there will be difficult times or just simply tired, but they will, most of the time.

It feels wholesome to recieve that kind of attention, but it's also so rewarding feeling if you've done something for others. My highlight of the day today was when I talked with one stranger, who seemned much older than me in university hallway. I said something along the likes that today is the worst day of the week, so difficult lectures and long and then she said that it's the same for her and that she forgot her food. I had a banana in bag which I offered to her, she hesitated at first and was concered that now I have nothing to eat myself but I said it's all good. She was so happy that it made my day. I should carry more snacks in my bag!

4:20 Whenever a waiter serves us food at a restaurant, my dad ALWAYS reminds us to thank them and we do. It just makes the waiter feel happy and it. makes you feel good too.

Nearly all of the videos that I've ever watched about being a wholesome, decent, honest, genuinely kind human being, who treats others the way they want to be treated, were made by you, and I'm beginning to believe that it's because you are all of those things and more. ❣

I love the self reflection. These little bits of wisdom just shows your growth. I love this 💜

Lana's videos are just so wholesome and honest. I always feel at peace watching them. The world needs more people like Lana.

0:51 Friends who wait fr u while u tie ur shoe are indeed legends!!

But not only this makes the other person feel good but you feel good about yourself too. I'm saving this on my favorites list and comeback to it every time I feel like I'm losing myself.

I'm actually that one person in any friend groups, and them just noticing it and being appreciative is more than enough for me. And when they do reflect it, its literally like you taught someone to be nicer to you and even others. Its just totally wholesome and I hope more people realize this. Priceless.😤🙌🏼

Circling back to YOU, Lana to tell you that all your videos have such a calming and inspiring impact on my life!

I wasn't familiar with your content but I highly appreciate it as of now. Acknowledging presence of others is so important imo, we've become excluded and often forget about every single person's importance in making our day or experience possible or easier. Also being aware of our same role in the society and making an effort to be kind, which in a way sums up your 29 points, is crucial. Thank you for making this video and best wishes to you, Lana!

i love it so much when someone actually listens to me when im talking and is really interested in what i have to say, and when someone gives me a smile or tries to help me if im lost or confused, and definitely if they wish me happy birthday at midnight, i try to do these to my friends and i always try to make another person feel included, because i'm always the person who gets left out or ignored in my friendgroup. literally if u do even any of these things, i love you and i'll also remind myself to keep doing these things more often!!

Aww, this was actually so wholesome! So cool to see that I've actually experienced a lot of these situations lol. Love being that person sometimes and also love interacting with such people! :)

Doing something nice for someone you don’t even know, it brings joy that you did something good for that person. I always try to have a bright day for everyone around me even if I am having a grey day at that moment.

This video changed my whole point of view on how to act around people. I was tired of people around me always praising themselves and acting cool and stuff that i was the only one caring and I thought i was being seen as the weak one. So I started being indifferent and stopped caring so much and always wanted to be something that I really didn’t know! But this video reminded me that this was when i was happy! This whole caring, loving and supporting was when i was free from all those negative thoughts and all those thoughts that were complicated! Thank you for this video! I will start being myself again!

The energy that your videos emanate is always very positive and calm, which is one of the major reasons I love watching your videos. This one was beautiful, it really reminds us how can we spread kindness through little acts

this really was wholesome and i find that whenever i do one of these not only does it make the other person happy or make me seem cool, it makes my day as well! i feel incredibly happy for making someone else feel better! also lana, such a wholesome video with an as always calm vibe

I've been depressed and was feeling like I am so alone, but this video made me think, yeah right, actually people do care about me, say nice things, even strangers hold the door for me, saying they like my outfits and stuff. It was just wholesome. It was me not opening up to the beautiful human nature of caring. You made me so fulfilled, thank you so much!

I feel so much confident and wholesome right now because I realized that I do most of the stuff in a genuine way and the idea that I probably made someone feel better by doing something, that I didn't even realize, makes me proud of myself❤️

And when someone calls you dear it's just another kind of happiness 😊

Oh this video is beautiful. It's definitely the little things that count. Half of the things you mentioned here, I see them at work everyday. Those people see me, and I see them. It's such a joy to wake up every morning to go to work with people who see you, acknowledge you, support you, and show you kindness, and even hype you up for the little progress that you make. I am going to try and apply these principles in my daily life. I really want to bring a smile to somebody's face everyday, even if it's just one person per day. The way my colleagues and manager see me at work, I want to see people everywhere I go the same way.

I loved all of these reminders. My favorite one was introducing someone when you run into somebody else. I’ve noticed that’s something people don’t usually do - including myself. 🙏🏽🙂

My anxiety and overthinking ruined myself. But then I started watching Lana videos and promise myself to become calmer and better. I really hope i do. Thank you Lana!

I know this video was from a while ago, but this video still makes me cry. Thank you for your genuine acknowledgment of the little things that people do that make the world a better place and as you said, "a little smile may make their day or even save a life." Lana Blakely, your videos reaffirm my faith in humanity.

Loved this Lana, this is a video we NEED to come back to once in a while to remind ourselves that we need to spread more kindness. Little things matter, a lot.

”Character is how you treat those who can’t do anyting for you”💕 Thank you for this wholesome list🥰

i love how short yet informative your videos are, i don't really sit through long motivational videos like these so thank you ☺️

it's amazing how I see myself smiling to flashbacks of my own experiences as you were mentioning the scenarios in this video

I’m so happy that there are other people out there like you who notice those little details or as Unjaded Jade likes to say “casual magic”. I loved this video, this short format can be really cool sometimes ! Even if I have to say from all the content you‘re putting out there, your podcasts are probably my favourites (I find raw streams of consciousness absolutely fascinating, and at times highly relatable). Great work Lana ❤️

It hurts me that I’ve became worse of a person because all of these things I used to do all the time and now I feel angrier at the world and I don’t practice them as much. But this reminded me that I could change and become that person again

I love that all these things are so easy to do but they can make someone really happy.

Kindness is cool. Thank you for reminding others we're all people and doing the right thing is good.

Hello Lana! Out of the twenty nine things you mentioned, I feel like I still have much to learn and give, not just to my family but to the community and strangers too. The few things that make me upset are: when someone ignores others just for the sake of ignorance. Then there's the person who knows there are five people in the room but only includes three of them into the conversation -- maybe this young boy has something of value to add too, by excluding that one person you are being ill-manered. Or when someone is talking but another person is eager to talk about themselves and keeps on interrupting (can you wait for your turn? We want to hear what she has to say!) Overall, we all need that extra love and kindness to get us through the day. 🌄 ❤

Honestly, this all just feels like what should be normal shows of respect. The fact that being respectful and attentive towards others (especially towards friends) is seen as "cool" rather than "normal" really shows just how little many people care about others.

this video just made me smile and actually notice that their are people who do this for me, like my bsf hyping me up for every little achievement, my guy friend listening to me patiently instead of making the conversation about him and all the other stuff. This is really wholesome.

When I was walking on a busy street in Budapest I saw an old man in a wheelchair that dropped something accidently on the ground. I saw he was struggling from the wheelchair to pick it up and there were like 50 people walking past him and no one even looked at him, it was so sad. When I saw him I immediately picked it up for him and he thanked me with a big smile on his face, which totally made my day. Moral of the story, I know we live in a fast world, and everyone is in a rush but sometimes take a look around and help the people around you because if you were in that wheelchair you would have appreciated it a lot if someone helped you in that case.

That "You" in end syncing up with the beat.. chefs kiss.

its really nice that youre just saying this! as someone who does all these and gets not much back its nice to know that these sorts of actions are appreciated

i love this :))) my friends sometimes laugh at me for being nice to the most random people on the streets but i’m never embarrassed about it knowing that small thing i did could’ve gone a long way in their day/lives.

Your calmness is so soothing, I loved the gentle, positive energy of this video.

I've had pretty bad social anxiety for most of my life and it gets in the way of me doing things like this more often. I would absolutely LOVE to approach people with these gestures in mind but its hard when you're genuinely scared of interaction sometimes... but I'm trying more and more everyday and getting better so I'm happy about that :)

I love this so much. And this entire community- there’s so much warmth and comfort here, it makes me grow into the person I aspire to be!! Thank you, xo.

I really like people like you, who can understand what 'cool' actually means. This video and you made my day! I always love to see so joyful, and lovely people like you.

This is so warm to listen. It made me so happy to see someone else acknowledge those small kind of gesture

This was so wholesome and made life feel so much more lovely especially after being depressed for a while. Thank you as always Lana 💜

This girl is crazy good! The moment u started talking i somehow dropped a smile! You make a difference in this world girl ❤️ Thanku for your words!

All these little things matters and I'm glad there are so many who appreciate them!! I hope we all can continue to practice these things in our lives 💗

I’m so glad people like her exist . Truly inspirational and my role model

Being Nice makes a huge difference ✨🙏💓 Is sad that not everybody appreciates those gestures but being respectful is really important 💓✨🙌🏽

I think it’s so cool when someone remembers the little details I mentioned like one time several years ago, and it always makes me feel cool when I remember something like that too

Thank you so much for this video Lana! I teared up a few times while watching this. Living in crazy, chaotic and aggressive NYC post pandemic makes me kinda depressed sometimes, but this video reminded me how much these simple gestures are so important. Small kindnesses really do matter and we can all work on doing a little more.

in brief: The video is a compilation of simple yet impactful actions that can positively affect others and make one seem like a "cool" person. The video emphasizes the power of small gestures and kindness in everyday interactions. 1. Including others in a group, especially those who might feel left out. 2. Waiting for someone who is tying their shoe or performing a similar task. 3. Holding doors open for others, but not so far away that it causes awkwardness. 4. Asking someone to text when they get home safely and following up if they forget. 5. Listening actively to others without making the conversation about oneself. 6. Celebrating someone’s birthday right at midnight. 7. Appreciating and hyping up someone's taste in music. 8. Noticing and complimenting changes in someone's appearance. 9. Asking if someone needs anything when going to the store. 10. Sharing in someone's excitement. 11. Introducing someone you know to others in a group. 12. Making room for someone who wants to sit down. 13. Saying nice things about others openly. 14. Giving attention to someone who is being interrupted or ignored in a conversation. 15. Letting someone with fewer items go ahead in a grocery line. 16. Picking up items that have fallen off shelves in stores. 17. Letting others merge into traffic. 18. Greeting people warmly in social settings like offices. 19. Offering help to those who appear to be struggling. 20. Walking someone home who seems lost or disoriented. 21. Remembering small details that someone mentioned earlier. 22. Smiling at someone's pet. 23. Inviting people to join activities in a welcoming manner. 24. Following up on recommendations others have given you. 25. Being patient and understanding, especially in teaching or explaining scenarios. 26. Celebrating small victories of others with enthusiasm. 27. Expressing gratitude to service workers like Uber drivers, waiters, etc. 28. Realizing the importance of basic human interaction like smiling, saying hi, please, and thank you. Lana Blakely concludes by acknowledging that while she doesn't always remember to do all these things, it's important to try, as these small actions can make a significant difference in someone's day.gpt4

Thank you so much for your beautiful video, Lana! it reminded me of my friend who texted me happy birthday midnight, who asks some questions and shows interest in my story when others are just "hearing" me, and my mom who picks up anything that's on the floor at a supermarket or a clothing store:)

thank you for reminding us to be kind and be a better person to others, love you lana :>

every time you spoke a sentence, my brain just associated a person with it. i remembered nice things they'd done and it's so wonderful to know that they actually cared.

Recently, I have made a lot of new friends. A lot of the things mentioned in the video are things that my friends do that I really like, but I've never sat down to put into words. This makes me grateful for them.

I adore how your videos make me feel like hope to better myself up 😭

I have a coworker who I see once a week since that location is long drive away. The way he enthusiastically shouts my name at 6am is something I look forward to every week and it makes the following 10 hour workday a breeze. I didn't realize how much of a positive impact it made on my day until he was away on vacation and I was greeted by silence. Good thing he was back the week after shouting my name!

I used to listen to your videos because even though you had great ideas which are important the thing I liked most about you is the soft spoken voice you have when you get into your reflective moods

Wauw! This is the first video I see from you, and girl, I LOVE it!! The peace in your voice and the tiny details that you notice about other people are heartwarming :)

What's more wholesome is if other people recognize that someone is doing these things out of their way

Was feeling low today, saw this and felt quite charged up to get to work. Thank you for this short, meaningful video. Very apt everyday examples 👍🙂

I love how you said at the end of the video that you also don't do those things you said all the time. It makes you really relatable and it doesn't make me feel like I'm doing less of being kind to others. I love how you made me feel today, Lana. Thank you!

I really like the style of the editing of this video. How soothing you voice is just makes it 10x better. Thank you for the tips and also allowing me to relax :)

This is the first video I have watched of yours (because KZfaq randomly recommended it) and I'm so glad I did. This video made my day and gave me small pointers to improve my social life. Thanks!

Thank you Lana for making this video.... I believe change starts from within and after watching this video I have promised my self to be the same person for others !!

Thank you for spreading this message, one of the coolest videos on KZfaq

I naturally do most of some these things because I know what it feels like to feel invisible, I always make sure everyone feels included and welcomed

Her voice is so calming it almost feels like an asmr video

warm greetings to someone whom you don't know (strangers) is one of the kindest thing anyone can do to make someone's day better :) Loved your videos lana they're so much inspiring 🖤✨

THIS! Most of the things you mentioned I already am including in my lifestyle. Just because I for myself would want others to do these things for me. It really is the little things!!

Your voice is so soothing. Its very comforting.

Your videos are the most soothing and inspiring thing ever. I'm so incredibly grateful I've discovered your channel. You make me wanna be a better person 💜

I smiled throughout the entire video. I love this kind of content. Thank you, Lana.

this is such a good list of things to think about doing more, for example choosing one of these each day and try to do it to spread kindness!

I like it when people circle back to me to finish a story after I get interrupted.

love this! thanks for the reminder and inspiration. it's truly the little things that can make the world a better place

I remember one time i went home from school and was feeling very down and just wanted to get home quickly so i wouldn't be around people. I was feeling very suicidal at the time but i was very good at hiding it so no one knew. On the street on the way home this lady in a cute summer dress just smiled at me and i instantly smiled back out of reflex and felt a little happier. I'll never forget that. It's such small things that can change our mood. I wish i could say thank you to that stranger.

You are such a warm soul. I really enjoyed this

I teared up a lil bit. Your voice and your words are so comforting to me. This video has healed something inside of me. I really want to and I will try to be nicer to people around me and to myself.

I don't comment that often, maybe I should do that more, but I always find your videos down to earth, sensible and very thought provoking. Thanks for sharing. :)

I love this video a lot. These things may seem little, but really they're not. I still remember a few years ago, I was a little short of change at the grocery store and the lady behind me stepped up and gave me the money I needed to pay for them. I was so thankful, I've never forgotten it. I offered to pay her back somehow, but she just smiled and said very sweetly, "No, there's no need at all to pay me back! If you want to, just help out the next person you see who needs it in some way." This is how we make our world a more beautiful place

such a calm person I love it

i have been thinking of myself for the past two years or so as a bad person but recently ivebeen trying to get better and i subconciously started doing most of these things and god its amazing, i used to feel so alienated from other people and now my friend group calls me "the glue" of the group:) gonna try to do more of these, amazing video
