Being kind is good for your health: How to practice kindness every day
from Productive Not Busy Podcast · host Wayne Weathersby
Why is kindness contagious? Being kind to others is known to have lasting effects on our mental and physical health. But have you heard that kindness is contagious? That's because it is! Being kind lights up the pleasure center of the brain and releases serotonin and oxytocin “Each of us in our day-to-day lives has hundreds, if not thousands of moments to be able to practice kindness,” Harding said. When you’re getting a cup of coffee, look the barista in the eye and ask her how her day is going. During your commute, let another car go in front of you. If you’re in a line at the airport, help a person who is in a rush. “It can actually Boost your Mood and it also has positive ripple effects on your biology,” Harding said. russell wilson subway sandwichmatt ryan statsdangerwichrussell wilson dangerwichbrett rypienmike williamskj hamler russell wilsonrussell wilson injury updatemichael pittman jraustin ekeler statsmo alie coxbroncos vs chargersmike williams statskyle brandt russell wilsonchad powers russell wilsonnyheim hines statsrussell westbrook statsjosh palmerjordan poolebailey zappephillip lindsayrussell wilson sandwich commercialis russell wilson playing this weekwhats wrong with russell wilsonmike boone stats --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wayne-weathersby/support Subscribe today and join a community that’s growing stronger every week.
