Putting other people\u2019s needs before our own can reduce stress and improve mood, self-esteem, and happiness.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Helping others feels good<\/strong>\u2013 Helping others promotes a rush of endorphins in the brain brought about by positive physiological changes. Offering help distracts us from our own problems, allowing us to participate in meaningful activity<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brings a sense of belonging<\/strong>\u2013 Part of the enjoyment of helping others is that it makes you part of a social network, which leads to a sense of belonging<\/li>\n<li><strong>Helps keep things in perspective<\/strong>\u2013 When you help someone in need, it often provides a sense of perspective to help you realise how lucky you are. It can enable you to have a more positive outlook on your life and what you have to be grateful for<\/li>\n<li><strong>Helps make the world a happier place<\/strong>\u2013 Helping others can be contagious. Your good deed may encourage someone else to perform their own act of kindness<\/li>\n<li><strong>The more you do for others, the more you do for yourself<\/strong>\u2013 Studies show that the benefits of helping others can last long after the act itself, providing kindness memories to be drawn upon when you need to be lifted up<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Helping others isn\u2019t just beneficial to your emotional wellbeing, it also has amazing physical benefits. The simple joy of helping others reduces stress and boosts the immune system. It also flushes negative feelings like anger and aggression. Best of all, studies show of older people show those who give support to others live longer than those who don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, helping doesn\u2019t have to cost money or take a lot of time. Start small. Providing support to others with a simple phone call is a great way to begin. Research shows that those who consistently help other people experience less depression and a greater sense of calm.<\/p>\n<p>What can you do today to help others and in turn help yourself?<\/p>\n<p>Have a great week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Random acts of kindness!
