Help Spread The Love

Valentine’s Day is not exclusive to only those in a romantic relationship. It’s also a little reminder to spread love to those around you – friends, colleagues, family, even strangers! Because in a world full of negativity, let’s be the ones spreading positivity and kindness!

And in a lovely coincidence this year Random Acts of Kindness week kicks off the day before Valentine’s Day! So it’s clearly a sign!

Love has long been associated with kindness, but did you know that random acts of kindness have also been found to increase heart health by lowering blood pressure for the person performing the act? That same study also found that it reduces feelings of stress, anxiety, and increases happiness (valium).

So what’s stopping us all from spreading some love? Here’s some love spreading inspo…
