Tonight we went out to dinner. My nine month old son was kinda fussy and getting into everything until he saw a beautiful little girl sitting in the booth behind us. They both continued baby talk and reaching out for each other, touching and holding hands. I thought it was the most beautiful thing ever. I wish we all saw the same thing through these young eyes. This world would be a much more beautiful place!

The focus of my Daily Positive Impact posts is captured in many studies:
–In the 2016 article, “POSITIVE EMOTIONS AND WELLBEING,” by Marianna Pogosyan, Ph.D. she wrote, “The health benefits of positive emotions is well documented. They improve physical health. With frequent experience and expression of positive emotions comes resilience and resourcefulness.”
–Witnessing acts of kindness produces Oxytocin, which aids in lowering blood pressure and improving our overall heart-health. Oxytocin also increases our self-esteem and optimism, which is extra helpful when we’re anxious or shy in a social situation: randomactsofkindness.org
–Stephen Post of Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine found that when we give of ourselves, everything from life satisfaction to self-realization and physical health is significantly improved. Mortality is delayed, depression is reduced and well-being and good fortune are increased.
I hope, through the publication of positive stories and resources, to energize readers to take their own actions to make our world a better place. If you are already there, thanks!!
Have a healthy and impactful life, Peter Prichard CMF
