As the holiday season draws near, there’s no better time to pause and reflect on the joy we can create—not just for ourselves but for others too. Performing random acts of kindness is a simple, beautiful way to give and receive your daily DOSE—the happy brain chemicals that fuel joy, connection, and purpose.
Here’s how it works: Dopamine rewards us with a sense of accomplishment and motivation when we do something positive. Oxytocin, often called the “love hormone,” floods our brains when we connect with others. Serotonin is released when we contribute to someone’s happiness or feel a sense of belonging. And Endorphins? They show up to boost our mood and reduce stress, making us feel lighter and more vibrant.
When we perform acts of kindness—no matter how small—we create a ripple effect. The person receiving kindness feels its warmth, and so do we, igniting a virtuous cycle of connection and positivity. So, what if we made kindness an intentional part of our lives, not just during the holidays but every day?
