2020 has been a tough time for most people's mental health.
However, it has made a lot of us examine the way we live and make changes which serve our
wellbeing.
A recent study found people have become kinder and more altruistic since the pandemic began.
This has tangible benefits - Evidence shows when we do something kind for others, our brain
releases feel-good endorphins (sometimes called 'helper's high'), which can help restore our
chemical balance and counteract the effects of stress and anxiety. It also helps foster
connection, which is crucial for our psychological health.
