Don't you just love people that spread cheer everywhere they go? Today is your opportunity to be that person. Numerous studies have shown one key factor to finding and maintaining our own happiness is to do something to make others happy. In fact, one study revealed physiological effects when subjects donated to a charity. It’s known as the “helper’s high” with the brain releasing feelings of happiness and reward, prompting people to do even more kind acts. And it's also contagious. When someone witnesses another person doing something kind (holding a door open, lending a helping hand, paying it forward, etc.) they tend to follow suit. See the domino effect of your generosity and spread that joy everywhere you go. You'll find that by being extra nice or just simply smiling, you'll feel better and change the dynamic of others throughout your day. Try it! I'd love to hear your experience...
