Do you see the glass

as half empty or half

full? Developing studies

suggest that positive and

negative outlooks on life can

affect your physical health.

One way to increase positivity

and emotional well-being is

showing kindness to others.

Showing kindness can trigger

“reward” pathways in your brain

and lead to feelings of happiness

and well-being. Continuous activation

of this part of the brain has been linked

to lower levels of stress hormones.

Reducing your stress can have a considerable

impact on lowering your blood pressure and

keeping your heart healthy.

Be mindful of kindness as you go about your day.

Hold the door for people, compliment them, and

provide help to those who need it. Volunteering

for a local shelter or charity can also be a great

way to increase positivity in your life.
