It's natural for any one of us to have bad days.

We all know that self-care is crucial when it comes to living a healthy and happy life. Yet, we often put a lot of effort and energy into our work, studies, and relationships, forgetting to look after our mental and physical well being. As a result, we become overworked and burnt out, and eventually, we get to the stage where we are unmotivated or just too tired.

Kindness is choosing to do something that helps others or yourself, motivated by genuine warm feelings. From giving up your seat on a bus to someone who may need it, or offering to make a coffee to your relative at home, studies show that helping others can also benefit our own mental health and wellbeing. People who are kind and compassionate experience less levels of stress and are, in general, happier.
