World Kindness Day is celebrated on November 13 of each year. It is a day that encourages individuals to abolish borders, origins and religion. A few minutes of our time are enough to spread a smile and good humor around us.
Appeared in Japan in the 1960s, the Small Kindness Movement wanted to stall the rise in violence at the University of Tokyo. Its president thought that if each one had a little daily attention to the others, kindness would end up filling the campus, the city and the country.
The World Kindness Movement (" World Kindness Movement "), born in 1997, launched Kindness Day on November 13. Today it has millions of members in nineteen countries, and Cronobank joins them.
On November 13, the proposal is to perform acts of kindness towards others: start with a smile and then you can leave your seat on the bus, help carry the purchases, give a book that you have already read, bring a cake and share it with your collective.
Benefits of Kindness:
1. Helping others is helping yourself:
Children who are sociable, that is, kind and attentive to others, are not only more appreciated than others, but they are also better in school. A study with children who shared comparable school difficulties showed that those who volunteered to help others do their homework further improved their own results. With an identical school level from the beginning, those who help get better grades, two years later, than those who have worked only for themselves. You also get a better self-esteem and a more positive image of the school. This is a sample of how helping others is actually helping yourself ...
2. Forgiveness is good for the heart:
What if forgiveness was good for the cardiovascular system? Volunteers had to report two opposite situations after an attack. At first, they were asked to imagine taking revenge. To feed their resentments, they had to think about their injuries, the pain suffered ... In a second moment, they were invited to forgive, to think that the aggressor was a human being like them, with their difficulties ... in short, they were asked to be empathetic. The verdict of the electrocardiograms and of the physiological measurements carried out in the two situations was very clear: negative emotions and resentment were linked to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure. While in a state of empathy, the physiological stress of those same people immediately dropped. Grudge is not good for your health!
