“Kindness is not an act, it’s reflection of your soul.”
A recent study reported on how people felt after performing or observing kind acts every day for seven days. Participants were randomly assigned to carry out at least one more kind act than usual for someone close to them, an acquaintance or stranger, or themselves, or to try to actively observe kind acts. Happiness was measured before and after the seven days of kindness. The researchers found that being kind to ourselves or to anyone else or actively observing kindness around us boosted happiness. We become kinder with practice. Aesop, the ancient Greek storyteller, once said, “No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.”
Try this challenge, do one small, kind thing each day for someone.
Then pay attention to the impact on you.
