Kindness Magnet is a community of people who aspire to create a lifestyle that aligns with their values and with the things in their life that are most important to them. Things like family and friends, good health, rich life experiences, and a sense of purpose and happiness.
Each week the Kindness Magnet newsletter will send you an actionable idea for a value based lifestyle.
KINDNESS MAGNET HISTORY
I started writing Kindness Magnet in April, 2021 because I was curious about the practical benefits of being kind.
It turns out, there are a lot of brilliant, scientific minds that have been poking and prodding into kindness and they have made some pretty terrific discoveries.
Kindness can improve your physical and mental health, helping reduce cardiovascular disease, decrease depression, and help you live longer. Kindness produces oxytocin and dopamine which improves your mood and happiness. By practicing kindness, you can rewire the neurotransmitters in your brain to reduce negative thoughts. And kind acts create a ripple effect that positively impacts others, almost infinitely.
Kind communication and actions have the power to build relationships, open doors to opportunities, provide a sense of purpose and create happiness.
