June 8 - Cheerleading

Day 159 of a year of Kindness

In the spirit of focusing on what I can do instead of what I can’t, I went to a pickleball game as cheerleader instead of player. I brought sunscreen and drinks and yelled out encouraging things, which cheered me up.

Science of kindness: Research reveals that when you can't participate in an event, showing up and cheering for the people who can, will make you happier. This effort allows you to be social, which releases feel-good hormones like dopamine and oxytocin, leading to a natural mood booster. #bekind #kindnessiscontagious #kindnessisfree #kindness #pickleballsupport
