Doing something good for a friend, colleague, family member or even a total stranger, without wanting anything in return, will automatically produce serotonin in our brain. And that’s our ‘happiness hormone’. It doesn’t matter if you planned it beforehand or whether it just happens spontaneously. As well as making you feel happier, even passers-by who witness your ‘good deed’ will get a serotonin boost. A great example of this can be seen in the short film ‘Validation’. It lasts a bit longer than normal (15 minutes), but I promise you it will be well worth the time you invest. Enjoy!

A life of kindfulness {YouTube?}

Leads to this page -

“Those who make compassion an essential part of their lives find the joy of life. Kindness deepens the spirit and produces rewards that cannot be completely explained in words. It is an experience more powerful than words. To become acquainted with kindness one must be prepared to learn new things and feel new feelings. Kindness is more than a philosophy of the mind. It is a philosophy of the spirit.”

~ Robert J. Furey

The sheer number of adults in the United States who feel lonely is quite large—in a January 2020 survey of 10,000 adults by Cigna, 61% of those surveyed said they felt lonely. However, people don’t always talk about feelings of loneliness and don’t always know what to do with these feelings.

Other than being emotionally painful, loneliness can impact people in many ways:
