Now that the holidays are here, it’s important to remember what the giving season is all about. Prosocial acts, which are intentional behaviors that benefits others, truly is a gift that is given and received. While the person on the receiving end may be impacted in a positive way, the giver also receives those emotional rewards that make us feel good. These acts of kindness, no matter how big our small, create positive connections between people for a better society because the good cheer will carry on months, to even years later.
According to science, there are plenty of other positive reasons why giving is good for you, including benefits to your physical and mental health. Research shows that giving—whether it is time, money, or gifts—contributes to our happiness and well-being, by:
- Lowering blood pressure
- Boosting self-esteem
- Reducing effects of depression and anxiety
- Decreasing levels of stress
- Increasing overall life satisfaction
