Dr Rachel explains why she hates the ‘be kind’ movement and why we all need to practice a kindness habit daily. Find out what neurotransmitters underpin kindness, what you need to do to get them firing in your brain today and every day, how your environment can limit your ability to be kind and how you can use acts of kindness to be your best always. Discover how kindness is underpinned by a mechanism that is imperative for our wellness and wellbeing. Spoiler alert, it is not about how many likes you get on your social media posts!

Key Insights From This Episode:

• I think kindness is actually lost in translation

• If we are not used to being kind to ourselves, and this is going to be quite unfamiliar territory to us. 
• The one thing that I want you to take away from this is that kindness isn't anything to do with social media, mainstream media, what you do to others. 
• Be kind is how we can be the best human beings, having the best experience in the most supportive environment that we can create.
• Let's start the kindness focus so that it will become habitually yours, what you need to do to feel good about yourself, what you need to do to be kind to yourself, what you need to do to enable your body to work in the optimal way in your environment.
• As long as you are being kind to yourself, being honest about what you need, not what you want, then you will be moving forward. 
• When indulgence turns into a habit, then we can see that it can be quite destructive. 
• We need to start putting things in place, taking responsibility, having self-autonomy, to be able to be kind to ourselves. 
• The kinder we are to ourselves and the better place we are to be able to move away from self-destructive behaviour, from being imposed upon by everybody else's needs coming first and not own. 
• Just laughing can generate an anti-aging hormone that's actually going to protect us and be part of the kindness formula.
