It’s World Mental Health Day from the Mental Health Foundation and there’s no denying that we continue to live in difficult and scary times which can be bad for our individual and collective mental health.
In good news, there’s a growing body of academic research and evidence, that proves why kindness matters and tells us more about the impact it has. From reducing blood pressure and protecting overall health, to experiencing fewer negative emotions and feeling more positive about the world.
Kindness has the power to make you happier and healthier, even just by noticing it when it happens. And it happens a lot, as the fact that we’ve been able to share at least 1 example a day for nearly 5 years shows!
So if you’re struggling to see kindness in the world, have a look through the stories we’ve shared. We’ll shine a light on it for you, to help you start to see it yourself.
How does kindness help you with your mental health?
