EARTH ANGELS & MAGIC MOMENTS
increase life satisfaction, and strengthen relationships.
A study published in Personality and Individual
Differences found that people who regularly practice
gratitude report higher levels of well-being, happiness,
and life satisfaction. This suggests that gratitude can
make individuals more attuned to positive
experiences, thereby increasing the likelihood of
experiencing what might be described as Magic
Moments
Acts of kindness boost happiness, not only in those
who receive the kindness but also in those who give it.
A study in the Journal of Social Psychology found that
performing acts of kindness increases well-being and
positive emotions. This can create a ripple effect, where
both the giver and receiver experience moments of
connection and joy, which can be seen as Magic
Moments .
Compassion is linked to the release of oxytocin,
often referred to as the "love hormone," which
promotes bonding and reduces stress. Research
published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology shows
that practicing compassion and altruism can enhance
mental health and lead to a greater sense of fulfillment.
