G.E.M. Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness

"We think nice things about people all the time, but for some reason we don't often say it."

Can you think of someone in your life who'd benefit from hearing something kind from you? The neuroscience behind kindness is absolutely life-changing, and making the effort to be kind can be incredible for not only for their happiness, but for yours too.
