“Kindness is scientifically proven to help those who give it as much as those who receive it. By completing and receiving acts of kindness, our self-esteem and level of empathy tends to increase. Acts of kindness release hormones, contributing to your overall mood and wellbeing. Kindness produces oxytocin, or commonly known as “the love hormone”, which activates pleasure centers in your brain, lowering blood pressure and curbs feelings of anxiety and shyness.”
