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. </p> </div> <footer class="entry-footer"> <div class="entry-actions"> <p
