Altruism: The Key to Happiness
Build a successful career, eat a clean diet, exercise every day, raise the kids to be amazing human beings, maintain the home, create a nurturing social life…
it never ends!!
With the growing demands that life throws at us daily, we can
become overwhelmed with our own goals, priorities, and obstacles.
Rather than becoming absorbed in the stress of our own challenges,
studies show that we should spend more time focused on helping others
in order to maintain our mental health and overall well-being.
Altruism: putting other people’s needs before our own.
By practicing altruism, we not only help others but also reduce our own stress levels, as well as improve our mood, self-esteem, and happiness. Some ways you can be a positive light in the lives of others is by volunteering, mentoring,
charity work and performing random acts of kindness!
