Day 15 – Offer to help
someone in your family
No
matter how old you are, where you live, or what you do, we all have the
opportunity to make kindness a priority: to see the positive in a difficult
situation, to encourage others, to listen to our friends and family, to treat
others with respect and to volunteer our time, energy, and resources to help
make this world a better place. Kindness can truly be a way of living, it
doesn't have to be a one-time act. You can be kind in everything you do. Make
the choice to make kindness a priority in your life today! Numerous scientific
studies show that acts of kindness result in significant health benefits, both
physical and mental. Helping contributes to the maintenance of good health, and
it can diminish the effect of diseases and disorders serious and minor,
psychological and physical. There has also been studies that show
stress-related health problems improve after performing kind acts. Helping
reverses feelings of depression, supplies social contact, and decreases
feelings of hostility and isolation that can cause stress, overeating, ulcers,
etc. A drop in stress may, for some people, decrease the constriction within
the lungs that leads to asthma attacks. These are just a couple of the benefits
of living a life of kindness.
A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees.
