Everyone has a few chinks in their armor. Some have tiny holes, and others have gaping tears, but we all carry burdens and do our best to resolve them. Kindness can make those burdens easier to carry, but did you know that being kind to someone has positive effects on you too?

The positive vibes that kindness creates can lower anxiety and blood pressure. Kind acts can also boost our immune system. It fosters a sense of social connection and that improves our mental health. It promotes happiness and can foster a sense of purpose.

The energy we send out comes back to us. If we show others kindness, positive energy will eventually come back to affect us in a positive way as well.

Kindness is so powerful, but it is very easy to do. Here are some examples of kindness.

Be tolerant

Praise others

Give hope

Show love

Listen

Use names

Send a note

Smile

Help someone

No matter how you help someone with kindness you are creating a connection that will benefit you both.
