It’s International Day of Happiness and science is increasingly finding evidence of what we already know; when you see kind, you feel better.
A study for the University of Warwick found kindness increased happiness and happier people ended up 12% more productive than less happy people.
I’ve been a kindness cheerleader since before I used it as my official job title because I’ve always recognised the power of kindness to improve both my own wellbeing, and that of others.
That’s partly why I started Time for Kindness – to share all the kindness that I knew was happening all day every day around the world, and help other people to see it too.
Our stories provide moments of happiness in your days and inspire you to look for those moments elsewhere too – we know because you’ve told us!
Become a kindness cheerleader too by spreading the kindness you see further in every way you can.
