I'm going to do a random act of kindness and upvote this post.
Since I started to take care of my mental health, I've been doing "acts of kindness" not really because I wanted to help others but because, quite selfishly, I noticed that I feel better about myself. Not that I brag about what I do, I keep it personal too.
The random acts of kindness group had a much bigger impact on positive cognition and emotions early on which tapered off as the study period advanced. The thoughts records, or cognitive reappraisal group had the opposite effect, where it started off negative, but became stronger and stronger over time.
Interesting. I guess it's ideal to do both?
This is something I have noticed in myself, when I feel really bad, I feel like helping others. On my way from one particularly bad therapy session, I wished I could help some elderly to carry their groceries, help someone with their bike or anything altruistic.
Excellent!
