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 a few 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!

#22 Sometimes all it takes is a simple hug…
Getting my nails done before our sons wedding, alone. I looked over at the empty chair next to me and thought, my mother should be here. She died when I was 4. I began to ugly cry. An older woman rushed over and just hugged me tight. It was like a hug from my late mother. ❤️❤️❤️

Once I was feeling like I could vanish and it wouldn’t matter and didn’t ride my bus two days in a row and when I got it the bus driver was just like “Glad you’re back. I was worried” and I bawled.
