Feel Good Tip ~ Helping Each Other is a Win-Win Experience

It Happened on the Way Home

I was driving home from the gym today. I’m in a great mood after my workout. The traffic is moving smoothly. I’m in the right hand lane. I stop for a red light. There are several cars in front of me and the lines in both lanes are getting longer. The light turns green, Oh, oh, there’s a sign ahead saying the right land is closed. I check my rearview mirror and start planning how I am going to edge into the left lane. What a minute, a guy in a black pickup truck in the left lane, just off my left shoulder, flashes his lights and lets me pull in. What a nice guy. I wave to him and tossed him a thumbs up. I had no choice, I did the same for a car in front of me wanting to pull into the lane. Helping each other is a win-win, feel good experience.

Kindness Works ~ Kind Acts Benefit Everyone

Kind Acts are a Win-Win

Spreading kindness not only helps others feel better about themselves — it can also boost the giver’s health and happiness, according to research. It’s a win-win for all. Putting the well-being of others before our own without expecting anything in return — or what is called being altruistic — stimulates the reward centers of the brain, studies have shown. Those feel-good chemicals flood our system, producing a sort of “helper’s high.” Volunteering, for example, has been shown to minimize stress and improve depression.
