Kindness is contagious.

We love to witness acts of kindness. These types of videos go viral for a reason.  They make us feel good.

When you Give, Receive or even Witness acts of kindness, the brain releases dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin.  Chemicals that create pleasure, trust, and well being.

Kindness also lowers cortisol and calms the amygdala.  Kindness tells our nervousness system "you're safe", "you're not alone", "you're connected".

Through the repeated process of either Giving, Receiving, or even Watching acts of kindness, you literally start rewiring the brain.  Fear begins to loosen, trust begins to grow, and you're body's health begins to change for the better.

Kindness, doesn't just change someone's day, it changes the body, mind and soul of all experiencing these acts!

Be A Trend Setter - Be Kind!

We all have the freedom of choice. 

We can look at anything in life in a positive way that makes room for hope, resolution and possibilities.  Or we can look at thing in a negative way that leads to anger, disappointments and steals our energy.

The situation is the same in the beginning.  The way you choose to handle it determines the outcome.

It is a choice.

Choose wisely!

Does life seem confusing and chaotic?

Does it appear like the efforts you're putting, aren't realizing the results you're looking for?

Then maybe you're seeing only half of the picture.  Maybe you can't see the things in the dark yet.  Maybe people are only giving you half of the truth.  Maybe you're only looking at things in the light, and not asking yourself if there's anything else to consider. There could be many different reasons why you're not seeing the full picture, but that's not the relative part, 

The important reason to see the fuller picture, is so you can come up with the best solutions. So that your decisions aren't half backed, but instead fully thought through.

It always is darkest before the dawn.  Wait until you gain more clarity.  Keep an open mind to what you're not seeing yet.  Evaluate all information carefully.  Then formulate a well throughout opinion.

Remember, your mind is like a parachute, it works best open!

Stress is a silent killer

Stress can be physical or mental.  It can be real or even imagined.  Many people don't realize that stress can, and many times are Manufactured!

Even by thinking about something unpleasant can put your body into stress.  And the effects on your body will be as if the situation you're thinking about is real!

If this is true, which it is, then the opposite is true too.  You can reverse the situation by thinking of things more positive, or going for walk to calm yourself so you can look at things more objectively.  You can also play sports, work on a hobby, or anything else that brings joy into your life.

After you take a brake from the stressful situation, you will have a clearer mind to see the remedy.

Remember, you will not find the solution, with the same mind that see it to be a problem.

THIS WAY, YOU ARE MAINTAINING THE CONTROL OVER YOUR LIFE!

Anything they can get you to believe in the movies, is the same technology they you use to control your emotions.

Your emotions are for you to control...and not others!

Pay attention to how you feel, and what you're thinking.  These control your emotions.  Your emotions ARE the power behind what you bring into your reality.

If you "FEAR", you are bringing in scary or troublesome experiences into your existence.  If you "LOVE", you are bringing in peace, kindness and harmonious experiences into your existence.

You are the "Gate Keeper" to your own emotions and beliefs.  

HOLD ON TO YOUR OWN POWER.

Have you noticed the world is getting even crazier? Too many opportunities to divide us.

Could this be by design?  Divide we are weak.  United we are strong.  We don't need to have the same beliefs in order to get along....in order to respect one another.

There's a story that seems relevant for the time we are going through, which goes something like this:

“If you collect 100 black ants and 100 red ants and put them in a jar, they will live together peacefully. But if you shake the jar vigorously, the ants will start killing each other. Reds will believe black is the enemy and black will believe red is the enemy when the real enemy is the person who shook the jar.

Who's shaking your jar?
