Be Kind, Stay Strong

When I called numerous relatives in Italy to inform them of my recent loss of a loved one, they cried so hard over the phone that I practically ended up consoling them. Their empathy and compassion comforted me in a way that little else could. Researchers, such as David McLelland, have found that empathy and kindness are healing gifts --both for the giver and the receiver--that actually create changes in the immune response. Even watching acts of kindness on film had the effect of strengthening the immune system for up to an hour after the film was over. Today, I’d like you to fill your day with kindness in three ways:
1.Perform at least one kind act for someone who doesn’t expect it.
2. To the extent that you can, don’t interact with people who are unkind to you.
3. Make your TV and film choices be “feel-good” activities, and avoid themes that contain violence.
