I wanted to add on to the information which I provided in this month’s Positive Power Strategies newsletter. New research from the Buck Center for Research looked at aging.
What does aging have to do with gratitude you ask? . . .
It turns out that doing good for others doesn’t just make you feel altruistic, it may help keep you alive. The study reviewed the subjects who volunteered the most. They found that these people had their overall mortality rate slashed by 44%. So doing good for others, not only makes you feel better – it helps you to live longer.
Try to see if there is something you can do today or this week, which may give back to someone in need. It doesn't have to be much, maybe just visiting with an elderly neighbor. Start small and see how you can make an impact on your immediate community. Who knows where it will take you and how you small act of kindness can inspire the world around you to do the same.
