Did you know that being kind is literally good for your health?
Performing acts of kindness releases the hormone oxytocin, which can decrease blood pressure.
It also boosts serotonin, the “feel-good hormone” that plays a key role in warding off depression and anxiety.
I’ve rounded up 15 stories of people doing good deeds, some simple yet powerful.
Reading about acts of kindness inspires me to do more good deeds myself. Perhaps they will inspire you as well!
#1 Bet she will never forget the kindness of those people…
#2 Lots of good people out there…
#3 Teamwork!
#4 What an impact to make on a teenager. And how much more likely that teen is to pay it forward someday…


#5 Incredibly thoughtful…
#6 I love people that do good deeds anonymously, not looking for any kind of thanks, just wanting to be kind…


#7 Amazing response from the car owner…
#8 Love this…


#9 This guy is amazing…what a gift to kids with no dads in their life!
#10 Drive-by kindness!
I was walking in Boston lost because I had the wrong address (Should have been in Cambridge), it was pouring rain and I had 2 broken elbows and a car pulled up beside me and handed me a huge orange umbrella before driving away before I could even say thank you.

#11 What a sweet gentleman…
An older gentleman behind me in checkout bought my daughter roses just because he saw her admiring them. I had JUST gotten out of a brutal divorce and had lost all faith in men. This helped my outlook more than he will ever know. She clutched the roses all the way home. I cried. pic.twitter.com/IaBYTHS4Qn

I hope these stories warmed your heart…in a world when we so often are inundated with bad news, it’s so important to share the good!
