The Simplicity of Kindness
<h2><span style="background-color: transparent" class="ql-size-large">Hopewell Valley Student Podcasting Network </span></h2><h2><span style="background-color: transparent">Show Name: Find Your Kind</span></h2><h2><span style="background-color: transparent">Episode #9: “The Simplicity of Kindness”</span></h2><p><span style="background-color: transparent">“Hello and welcome back! You are listening to Find Your Kind the podcast with your host Delaney Janks. You’re currently listening to this podcast on the Hopewell Valley Student Publications Network where students publish content to share with the world. Please note that the opinions expressed in this episode are mine, and mine alone. In this episode, “The Simplicity of Kindness”, I’ll be wrapping up everything I’ve talked about in my previous episodes and discuss some final “kind acts” you can do in your everyday life.</span></p><h2><span style="background-color: transparent">Segment 1: Importance</span></h2><ol><li><span style="background-color: transparent">One of the best ways to increase our own happiness is to do things that make other people happy.</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent">Generosity and compassion have been linked to greater life satisfaction, better mental and physical health, stronger bonds, and generous people even live longer.</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent">The happiness people derive from expressing kindness to others creates a positive feedback loop: with the more positive feelings you feel after showing kindness, you’ll have the urge to continue that kindness.</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent">When you are kind to someone else, they’ll be more likely to pass that kindness along to others.</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent">Just because we have the capacity for kindness and clearly reap real benefits from it, doesn’t mean that we always act with kindness.</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent">Think of kindness as a muscle that can be strengthened through repeated use. </span></li></ol><br/><h2><span style="background-color: transparent">Segment 2: Things You Can Do</span></h2><p><span style="background-color: transparent">With a little creativity, the areas where you can exert kindness are endless. So here are a few “random” ideas that can be done whenever:</span></p><ol><li><span style="background-color: transparent">Think about helping a stranger. It’s often the smallest actions that have the biggest impact.</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent">Try smiling more at strangers. How does it feel when someone smiles at you? In most cases, it makes you happier and you probably smile back. It’s harder to be upset when you’re smiling.</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent">Simply using manners is a way to express kindness. When you say “please” when you ask for something, maybe to a waiter, cashier, or stranger, it changes the tone of request and instead of making a demand, you’re being courteous. This also makes them more likely to want to help you.</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent">You can always try letting someone go ahead of you in line. If you notice the person behind you has less items than you, your cart is full, and you’re not rushing anywhere, why not let them go ahead? It will save them time, and they’ll also be surprised by your kindness. </span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent">You can also try sending real greeting cards to people rather than contacting them through your phone or social media. You can also consider sending more random cards letting someone know you’re thinking of them and miss them..</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent">Instead of holding onto it and possibly forgetting it, why not make someone’s day?
