During this lovely talk, Simonette discusses the benefits of undertaking random acts of kindness and why we should build our drive and desire to be altruistic; supporting someone in need, without expecting anything in return. Unconditional giving benefits both the receiver and giver because you are thinking and giving attention to someone else, which switches on the happy hormones in both of you. A true antidote to depression and anxiety is to help others with their needs. Simonette goes on to explain how we can grow more compassionate or kind toward people we may find difficult to accept. The acronymn EAT is an easy practice to help reduce any frustration or resentment you may feel toward another person. The regular practice of meditation allows for these new experiences to settle into consciousness, improving the quality of our mind and overall wellbeing.
