IMPORTANCE OF KINDNESS

IMPORTANCE OF KINDNESS

Kindness has many benefits including increased happiness and a healthy heart. It slows down the aging process and improves relationships and connections, which indirectly boosts your health.



Kindness should be defined as quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. Affection, gentleness, warmth, concern, and care are words that are associated with kindness.  Being kind often requires courage and strength. Kindness is an interpersonal skill.


Kindness is caring about others and doing things to help make their lives better. It allows us to connect with other people and build meaningful relationships.

When someone does us a kindness, we feel connected and more willing to cooperate with them. When we do something nice for someone, we cultivate trust, and we feel good about ourselves for being a kind person.

In the world at large, we have seen so much pain and heartbreak. So many lives needlessly ended. So much heartbreak and loss. It’s a normal reaction to want to protect yourself from all of that horror and isolate into your own safe space. The problem is that when everyone does that, we lose truly important connections with our community and even ourselves.

Kindness is an action.
 

Being kind is not about how you feel. It’s about what you do.

Showing kindness to someone you don’t like is really hard. But you just might surprise yourself when you take the high road. You have to remember that it’s not about the other person, it’s about us and who we choose to be in that moment. Practicing little things… like smiling and saying hello to a crotchety neighbour, or NOT talking smack about a difficult co-worker, or choosing not to clapback at someone when they’ve dissed you are all acts of kindness.

And, even if it feels strange to you, if you show kindness then you’re more likely to feel better. You could even start to see the good in people or even learn why they act the way they do.



 

 MAKE'S YOU HAPPY

Research has shown through brain scans that even just thinking about helping others activates the Mesolithic pathway in the brain, which produces the feel-good chemical dopamine. Being kind really does make us happy; 

 KINDNESS IS A CYCLE

 If someone around us is generous or kind, it spurs us to behave in the same manner.



YOU CAN CHANGE SOMEONE’S LIFE

A random act of kindness could just lift a person’s spirits, or you might even change their whole way of thinking. You never know the path another is on, and your random act of kindness has the potential to totally alter that path for the better.The butterfly effect is in full swing here; an act of a moment’s length could have positive repercussions for a lifetime.

IT REDUCES STRESS

Doing good does you good. Being kind to someone else has been shown to greatly enhance our mental well-being. According to research it also makes you feel more satisfied with life. How does being kind make us healthier? One theory is that it increases our mental well-being by lowering the amount of stress hormones we produce.
