The Pursuit of Kindness and How it Relieves Anxiety (REPLAY)

Send us Fan Mail

We explore why kindness is not just a moral ideal but a practical way to calm anxiety by boosting control, connection, and confidence. We unpack the “helper’s high”, share real life examples where kindness helps and where it does not get returned, and end with a reminder to bring the same kindness to our own inner voice. 

• kindness as a simple anxiety relief hack 
• the helper’s high and how reward centres in the brain respond to giving 
• why feeling in control reduces anxiety 
• being extra kind before stressful moments like public speaking 
• social interaction with strangers as a dopamine boost 
• the post pandemic “invisible mask” and rebuilding everyday connection 
• what happens when your kindness is met with curtness 
• kindness at work including isolated or mundane jobs 
• stress in healthcare roles and the ripple effect of small humane gestures 
• being kind to yourself through kinder self-talk and self-esteem
