“Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.” —Lao Tzu
Research suggests that acts of kindness can boost feel-good chemical levels in our brains and help us feel happier. When you do something nice for someone else, the pleasure and reward centers in your brain get activated and your body experiences increases in oxytocin, dopamine and serotonin. These chemicals in turn can help decrease your blood pressure, increase your overall satisfaction and well-being, and naturally boost your energy levels.
