Coffee with Fleur

Join us as we explore the effect that kindness and altruism has on our wellbeing. While it may sound obvious, in this world, it sometimes feels like we need a refresher.  The satisfaction of helping someone else and really making a difference gives us perspective, elevates our feelings of gratitude and builds positivity. Listen for: ·       Examples of altruism ·       Research into kindness ·       How being altruistic to others helps you feel better ·       Our personal volunteering and random acts of kindness  ·       The multiplier effect of doing more ·       Happy dogs! Somehow, it’s the moments where people randomly help us and show us kindness, particularly when we least expect it, that we remember long after the event. And perhaps this causes a ripple effect that builds others wellbeing. As we now have a break between episodes, perhaps consider how you might help others or maybe do a random act of kindness over the coming weeks. Join us in the café.
