If you opened this expecting to read about a 30 day Sun Salutation challenge, it's not. But for some of us it may be harder to do.
I am asking everyone, for the next 30 days, to perform at least one random act of kindness each day, preferably anonymously.
Why? Because it's time to change the world one kind act at a time, because it's a win-win for everyone.
Psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky found that by performing five small acts of kindness/week, particularly a variety of them all in one day, can boost our moods. Dopamine levels raise in the brain and activate the brain's pleasure centers. We are stimulated immediately but the effects also last over time. Not only do random acts of kindness make the person receiving the kindness feel good, but think of the benefits for the person performing the random acts of kindness!
If you follow us on Face Book we will share an inspirational quote each day for the next 30 to help keep you on track. I will also do my best to post here a little more regular with words of encouragement. If you would like to share some ideas, that would be appreciate. Anonymous is better but all random acts of truly appreciated.
Come and join the revolution and become warriors of peace one act of kindness at a time and don't forget to breathe.
Blessings,
