It starts with self-reflection.
Want to see more respect? Want to see more equality? Want to have a balanced job and life? The key ingredient is self-reflection – you must first have respect for yourself by being kind and compassionate. Why? Doing kind things elevates your mood and stimulates your brain.
The mechanism for altruism lights up a section of the brain called subgenual anterior cingulate cortex. This area involves our mood and makes us happy. Another section called the ventromedial prefrontal cortex is a crucial section for making empathetic decisions. The “overlap” or linking of these two sections is quite potent and can produce a glow of happiness. MRI scans can measure your generosity; however you can also feel when you have a rush of positive feelings. MRI scans clearly show a bigger amygdala. That glow (act of kindness) you feel can be amazing, and it is what makes you feel like a human being….mastering kindness and happiness.
In the end, you are not a human doing, you are a human being. Being great in this chaotic world requires self-reflection. It is vital and important characteristic that is achievable to obtain and help you grow professionally and personally. Choose kindness…for your brain, for your mood, and for others.
