Hello Everyone & Welcome Back to the RealPositiveGirl Podcast!
Thank you so much for joining me again!
Happy Monday!
This week's theme for the podcast is: Kindness
This week we are going to speak about how important kindness is to our everyday lives, how we can show kindness to ourselves & others and some easy ways to be more courteous & considerate to others!
Join me in learning more about the importance of kindness & how to be more kind!
Here are some notes from today's episode:
- I’m not going to talk too much about what kindness is because it’s one of those things everyone pretty much understands. But a quick breakdown of what kindness is: the quality of being nice just to be nice. Kindness is being generous & considerate without any expectations of anything from anyone else. If you are truly being kind, you are not doing it to gain anything from anyone, you are just doing it because it’s the right thing to do.
- In regards to why kindness is important, the first thing I want to mention is how it makes you feel when you do it. When someone engages in kindness activities, it just makes you feel so good to do something nice for someone else.
- It’s even been studied that those who do practice kindness start seeing an increase in general happiness, slower aging, feeling healthier overall & having better relationships with others. This is in comparison to someone that doesn’t practice kindness regularly or feels they are altruistic.
- It’s also important to note that kindness begets kindness. And the more often you practice kindness, the more natural it becomes to be kind. Part of this could be due to the positive reactions we receive when we are seen being kind & the basic fact of it becoming a habit.
- And I want to make sure I mention that sometimes being kind can be seen as being naive or weak, when really to be kind you have to have courage & strength, especially when needing to be kind when no one else is willing to be.
- Another reason why kindness is important is because it can easily become contagious. There aren’t many things better than finding out someone that previously wasn’t exhibiting kindness is suddenly being kind, caring & considerate to others. And research has shown that we as humans are not made to be selfish or super-competitive by nature. We are created to be helpful & kind to one another & by being a role model for kindness, you will unknowingly encourage others to be kind, as well.
- Let me end with telling you that showing kindness to others is just as rewarding as receiving kindness from others. Doing good for others feels good & it brings us together as a community.
