Hi All:

In a recent Mayo Clinic newsletter, Managing Depression, there was an article on How Sharing Kindness Can Make You Healthier and Happier, here is the link to the article,
https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/stress-management/in-depth/how-sharing-kindness-can-make-you-healthier-happier/art-20390060/?
Would you please share how the practice of sharing kindness changes your mood?

@hopeful33250- Sharing my experiences is a kindness, a generous,giving, a warmth shared to help someone else.

@hopeful33250 Sharing kindness is something that, for me, comes unbidden. If I were in that person's shoes, wouldn't I like that someone else thought to include me in their actions that day? As for me, when I can show a small kindness, it comes from my heart, not a social pressure or because it is expected of me. It makes me feel good that whatever it is, was probably a surprise to the other person, and that is where I get my lift.
