The Benefits Of Witnessing An Act Of Kindness
Witnessing acts of kindness has great power over people. The completely altruistic and disinterested actions provoke in those who see them, feelings of peace and tranquility that, by unexpectedly occurring, remain engraved and last.
But why is witnessing acts of kindness so beneficial? What makes us feel good when we see others act altruistically for the benefit of another?
Witnessing an act of authentic goodness conveys a feeling of peace and joy that endures. Some of these acts, while seemingly insignificant, can remain in our memory and be inspiring in difficult times.
When we witness an act of kindness we can be attending those moments of wonder, wonder and a sense of right that make us feel immensely grateful to be alive.
You reach a state of "euphoria" a sensation of warmth in the chest, a sensation of expansion in the heart, a greater desire to help and an increase in the sense of connection with others.
An act of kindness is a manifestation of superior or better human nature.
The sense of connection is important. Altruism transcends the separation that we often experience as human beings. It connects us
In fact, pure altruism is possible only because, at the deepest level, all human beings are part of the same network of consciousness.
The person who performs an altruistic act will surely be the recipient of another act of kindness. And when we witness that act we also become part of the network.
I mean, acts of kindness have positive effects in three ways: the one who does it, the one who receives it and the one who witnesses it.
Be kind to feel better
Research has shown that those who routinely engage in acts of kindness experience stress relief, chronic pain reduction, and even improve their insomnia problems. People who work as volunteers tend to experience less pain and discomfort.
Giving help to others protects overall health twice as much as the protection offered by aspirin, against heart disease. I have been on the other side of the road, and believe me, it is a Thousand times better when you are kind.
I know a movie about this subject named “Pay It Forward” where a teacher ask his student for a plan to change the world for the better. The student plan ends up being about starting a chain of favors, where the person receiving the favor/help must do the same to another 3 people, expanding the net of help given exponentially. And potentially changing the world for the better in the long term.
Besides, this time of the year is perfect to be super kind so that everyone can have a nice Christmas!!
