It’s all about kindness.
Dr. Rangan Chatterjee writes in his blog about
the benefits of kindness and how it can benefit how we feel ourselves just as much as our kind acts can benefit others. Showing empathy and care to others can reduce our pain, anxiety, and depression, and also give us more energy. Dr. Chatterjee recommends making time for a five-minute act of kindness each day, whether it’s checking in on an elderly neighbor or writing a short note of praise in support of a local business. His reasoning is that making someone else feel good doesn’t cost us anything – in fact, we benefit just as much.
