We all know kindness is good for those you are being kind to. It can lift someone up and turn a bad day around. You are a kind person if you say thank you and tell people why you appreciate someone.
To every human being must ye be infinitely kind. Expressions of gratitude create bonds of love between people and encourage us to look for the good in everyone. This is one of the things our world needs more of right now. Send a card and create a bond.
Maybe we should also practice kindness as part of a self-care routine. Kindness, like all virtues, is also a gift to the person who uses it. It can improve your relationships and keep things positive. The people around you are less likely to be on edge. A touch of kindness can bring down tension when someone is feeling stressed.
Being kind can release the hormone oxytocin which is also called the feel-good hormone. If you are feeling down, doing something kind can help you feel better. It can leave you with a more positive outlook on life. By focusing on others, we shift our attention from our own worries and moves us toward a more balanced perspective on life.
Carry kindness and sunshine in your heart. Carry everything else in this beautiful and durable canvas tote bag.
