Healthy Boiler Workshop: Cultivate Kindness to Boost Health
Zoom
Looking for quick ways to boost mood and improve physical well-being? Try random acts of kindness daily and experience the benefits of an instant mood lift, increased energy, and stress reduction.
Done consistently over time, these benefits foster positive self-image, reduce risk for chronic illness and disease, lower blood pressure, and increase your lifespan.
Join this workshop to explore the science behind what might be the missing ingredient in your health journey.
Please register by 12:45 a.m. on February 23. Meeting link will be sent before the event.
random acts of kindness
Be Authentic and Genuine
Help others in need. Volunteer. Shovel a neighbor's driveway. Bring edible goodies to friends, co-workers, or neighbors.
No matter how small you think your act of kindness is, it can be something big for the receiver. Acts of kindness affect both the receiver and the giver in a positive way because it stimulates serotonin (the feel-good chemical), decreases cortisol (the stress hormone), and much more.
Take time today and every day to honor your authentic self and spread kindness to others and yourself.
Presenter and health coach, Felicia Warfield from Purdue Northwest, will also discuss honoring your authentic self, contrast the difference between "being nice" and genuine kindness, and offer practical strategies to get you started.
