Today Najma is speaking to Positive Psychology Practitioner and teacher, Valdeiza Costa, about kindness. Last December Valdeiza created a series of Portuguese-language videos during Action for Happiness’ Month of Kindness, which was watched by 350 people.
They discuss how kindness is a practical application of the Bible’s command to love our neighbour and thus is at the heart of the Christian faith. Valdeiza points out how being kind to others helps you to recognise your own blessings; that a single act of kindness can create a ripple effect; and the importance of being kind to yourself. She also suggests some simple acts of kindness you can do to make a difference to your family, friends and community.
