Did you know that acts of kindness release hormones and chemicals into our bodies that help us feel better physically and improves our mood? Which in turn can help reduce inflammation and blood pressure, which eases pain and increases energy.
Helping others lets you get outside of yourself and take a break from the stressors in your own life, which eases anxiety, and this behavior can also make you better equipped to handle stressful situations.
What is the most beneficial act of kindness?
The Journal of Social Psychology conducted a study of 683 adults from different countries and had them either direct kindness towards family and friends, or help strangers, or practice self-kindness and compared them to a control group who lived their lives as usual.
Which form of kindness do you think would be the most beneficial?
There was no change in the control group and surprisingly kindness in any of the forms made people feel equally good! An inspiring study to incorporate kindness into your life in whatever way, shape, or form you can on a daily basis.
