✨Being kind is a powerful medicine✨
❤️ It’s good for the heart
❤️ It makes us feel happier
❤️ It slows the aging process
❤️ It helps with depression
❤️ And it’s very contagious
For a long time when I’ve seen someone wearing a nice outfit, or piece of jewellery or simply looking happy, it’s just gone through my mind as a fleeting thought, but one day this all changed 💕
I was walking through my local shopping centre, when a lady walking past drew my attention.
She was looking wonderful, so I stopped her and complemented her on how amazing she looked and how great her outfit looked on her.
I was a little taken aback when she became quite emotional, so we found somewhere to sit down.
In the conversation that followed, she told me that she’d been in a controlling relationship for 20 years, but had finally found the strength to leave the year before.
She explained that she’d suffered from an eating disorder for most of that time, but had finally got help and managed to put on some weight.
She said she was 3 stone heavier now than she had been when she was most unwell and that she was really struggling with that and how different her body looked now.
We chatted for a while and I can still remember her saying as we parted, that the timing of my stopping her had to be more than just a coincidence and that my complementing her had reminded her that it was the right thing for her to carry on with her recovery, rather than give in to the illness ❤️.
She walked away from me with a smile on her face…. So different from just 30 minutes before…. And all down to a simple act of kindness 🙏
Who knows how different her life would have been if I’d not spoken up…
So now every time I think something nice about someone, I tell them 🥰
“You look wonderful today” ☺️
“You’ve got lovely hair” 👩🦰
“You look great in that outfit “👗
“Your perfume/aftershave is amazing”
1. It makes YOU feel good
2. It makes THEM feel good and
3. It makes EVERYONE observing the act of kindness feel good
So many people affected by just one simple act of KINDNESS ❤️
So the next time you think something nice about someone….TELL THEM ❤️ you never know where it will lead
