Oxytocin is a hormone secreted by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland, a pea-sized structure at the base of the brain.<sup>3<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes called \u201cthe love hormone,\u201d oxytocin plays a role in forming social bonds and trusting other people. It\u2019s the hormone mothers produce when they breastfeed, cementing their bond with their babies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Kindness lowers blood pressure<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oxytocin causes the release of a chemical called nitric oxide, which dilates the blood vessels. This reduces blood pressure and, therefore, oxytocin is known as a \u201ccardioprotective\u201d hormone.<sup>4<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Kindness reduced inflammation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oxytocin, as mentioned is our brain\u2019s feel-good<sup>5<\/sup> hormone, it has been found to reduce inflammation<sup>6. <\/sup>\u00a0Inflammation is linked to\u00a0all kinds\u00a0of diseases in the body, including diabetes, cancer, chronic pain, obesity, and migraines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Being kind is good for your heart.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oxytocin expands blood vessels, which reduces blood pressure<sup>7<\/sup>. \u00a0This makes it good for you and encourages a healthy heart ( besides dieting, exercising and maintaining a healthy lifestyle\u2026)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Kindness makes you less stressed & you live longer<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kind people have 23% less cortisol (the stress hormone) in them and therefore age slower than the average population<sup>8<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Less anxiety <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kindness has been proven to lower anxiety. A new study<sup>9<\/sup> suggests that performing acts of kindness might help lessen social anxiety. A group of highly anxious individuals performed at least six acts of kindness a week and it was found after one month, that there was a significant increase in positive moods, relationship satisfaction and a decrease in social avoidance in socially anxious individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Less depression<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being kind is equally related to being less depressed, according to research and findings conducted by Western Reserve University School of Medicine. When we give of ourselves, everything from life satisfaction to self-realization and physical health is significantly improved. Mortality is delayed, depression is reduced and well-being and good fortune are increased.<sup>10<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Kindness is contagious<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A series of studies in neuroscience<sup>11<\/sup> at Stanford University, headed by Prof Jamil Zaki, have found that kindness is actually \u2018contagious\u2019 and that if you see an act of kindness or generosity, you are likely to spread it. One good deed will in turn inspire another, and in turn uplift and inspire others and so one\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Increased happiness <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Harvard Business School study<sup>12<\/sup> involving 136 countries found that societies which were the most charitable and financially generous had the happiest people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>More energy <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In one study, 50% of the participants reported that they felt stronger and more energetic after helping others; many also reported feeling calmer and less depressed, with increased feelings of self-worth\u201d<sup>13<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Giving more will make you happier.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A study conducted by Elizabeth Dunn\u00a0at the University of British Columbia\u00a0recently caught my attention ( conducted in 2020) they found that spending money on other people may have a more positive impact on happiness than spending money on oneself<sup>14<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Be kind. Without expecting praise or a reward<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I know that sometimes it is not easy to be kind and more compassionate to others, especially when it is not returned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I invite you to take this opportunity to be kind & give more, and to think of the intention behind your kindness and compassion, I realise and acknowledge that it can be <strong>very hard<\/strong> sometimes to be kind to others; especially to those that are not kind to us, but do it anyway! AND do not expect anything in reward for being kind, by paying it forward it will \u2018come\u2019 back to you in other ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Partake in this activity & challenge below and see how you feel after 7 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Challenge & activity: Random Acts of Kindness<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the next seven days, perform seven acts of kindness beyond what you normally do. You can do one extra act of kindness per day, or you can do a few acts of kindness in a single day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These do not have to be over-the-top,, or time-intensive acts preferably they should not cost you too much or anything at all, but they should be something that really helps or impacts another person. For example, help your colleague with something, give a donation of money to a cause you believe in, say something kind to a stranger, write a thank you note, or send a random gift to someone to brighten their day if you know they are going through a rough time, donate to a new charity, donate blood\u2026. and so on. \u00a0<strong>The trick is the person who receives this kindness must not know it is you; or who it is from.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of each day, list your random act of kindness in your journal. Notice how you felt at the end of each day, and journal your feelings and how you felt giving their random acts of kindness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can post an image of your journal\/image of what you did, with no details whatsoever on the details of who received it and without giving yourself away! As this will spoil the fun and the intention, I want to encourage you to be more kind and allow others to be as well. You can tag EverJOURNEY on social media and use the hashtag #<strong>RandomActsofKindnesseverjourney<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Some videos I encourage you to watch :<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Watch<\/strong>: Elizabeth Dunn: <strong>Happiness and Money <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bwmWHV79vTQ\">click here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Further reading:<\/strong> Happy Money: The New Science of Smarter Spending Book by Elizabeth Dunn and Michael Norton<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Watch<\/strong>: How to Be Happy Every Day: It Will Change the World | Jacqueline Way, Founder of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.365give.ca\">www.365give.ca<\/a> TEDxStanleyPark\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=78nsxRxbf4w&feature=youtu.be\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wishing you love, happiness, kindness and compassion in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All my love<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tam<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/calendly.com\/ever-jouney\/60min\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Book A Session with me<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/EverJourney.coaching\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook page<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">References: <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\">\n<li>Definition of kindness Wikipedia link: <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kindness\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kindness<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cedars Sinai, the Science of Kindness Article 13<sup>th<\/sup> Feb 2019 link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cedars-sinai.org\/blog\/science-of-kindness.html\">https:\/\/www.cedars-sinai.org\/blog\/science-of-kindness.html<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Live Science.
