How & Why Kindness Is Contagious

Yes, kindness is contagious – and it’s proven by science too!

 

Did you know – just that ONE single act of kindness that you may have shared can travel a very long way?

Kindness has a wonderful “ripple effect” impacting far more people than you originally intended to touch.

 

Psychologies Magazine “Kindness Tsar”

David R Hamilton PhD is “top of mind” when it comes to “kindness experts”.

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing David Hamilton speak live over the years at Hay House “I Can Do It” and Birmingham’s own “Tree Of Life Magazine” Seminars.

He’s a very charismatic character and so very knowledgeable about his specialist subject and science in general.

 

Not only is he known as Psychologies Magazine’s “Kindness Tsar” ….

David R Hamilton PhD is also author of 11 books including:

• The Little Book Of Kindness
• The Five Side Effects Of Kindness
• Why Kindness Is Good For You
• I Heart Me
• How Your Mind Can Heal Your Body

 

Along with being “quite the celebrity” ….

He’s been a guest on Channel 4’s live show, “Sunday Brunch” in the UK, “CBS Sunday Morning” in the USA talking all about the health benefits of being kind and has been a worthy guest elsewhere :

 

Not only that, he’s featured in the superb HEAL documentary.

 

Why Does Kindness Make Us Happier And Protect Our Mental Health?

According to David Hamilton there are a few reasons :

One, is that deep in the human psyche is the sense that helping others is the right thing to do. For some, it’s spiritual.

Kindness aligns us with a deep sense of spiritual purpose.

Secondly, helping others simply feels satisfying. For many, no explanation is necessary. It’s just the way it is. Kindness feels right and it feels good. The end!

 

 

In science, there’s also the fact that we have ‘kindness genes’. The main gene associated with kindness is actually one of the oldest in the human genome, at around 500 million years old. This means it has played a role in our survival over eons. As a result, we are drawn to help others and we get an intuitive sense that kindness matters.

Either way, there’s no question that kindness is good for mental health. In the brain, it produces oxytocin, the bonding hormone – aka, the love drug / hugging hormone / cuddle chemical / kindness hormone – when it involves a positive interaction between people. It also produces dopamine and serotonin. There’s even a suggestion that it might also produce endogenous opioids, the brain’s own morphine.

Another reason might be the fact that kindness can actually cause physical changes in brain matter. This is to do with both the focus on kindness and having kind thoughts, but also because of how kindness feels.

So the moral of the story today is this – do as David suggests and “Be Kind – It’s almost always the right thing to do, and it will probably make you feel better too!”
