Random Acts of Kindness Week
February 15, 2016
‘Did you know that people who are kind produce 23% less cortisol (the stress hormone) and age slower than the average population? It’s true. Engaging in acts of kindness actually lowers blood pressure and reduces stress.
Science also shows that being kind rewards everyone with increased energy and well-being–even people viewing the kindness are infused with positive benefits.
This year, The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation is asking individuals to sign a Kindness Pledge and spread the word via social media about their #Pledge2BeKind. The organization would also like to collect as many personal stories as possible.’
