There are so many reasons to be kind.
Kindness can increase your sense of connectivity with others, decrease loneliness, combat low mood and improve relationships. It also can be contagious, encouraging others to join in with their own generous deeds! Furthermore, acts of kindness release powerful chemicals in the brain, like oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine, elevating our mood, increasing reward stimuli and reducing stress.
More importantly, it's important to be kind and understanding as people’s mental health struggles aren't always obvious.
