Sharing – How giving to others can boost mental and physical health

Since it is Giving Tuesday, maybe this bit of information is timely for you:

Giving back has physical and mental benefits, including boosting happiness, reducing stress and enhancing self-esteem.

Obviously, today, you’ll hear a lot about fundraising efforts, and that’s fine. However, that’s only one way to give of yourself. Even small acts of kindness can positively affect our mental health and boost our outlooks. So, if you’re struggling right now, feeling out of sorts with the world, etc., do something nice. Volunteer your time, give money, or notice someone who could use a small act of kindness and provide it.

It benefits everyone involved. There is more at the link below:
