Do Something Nice Day

National Do Something Nice Day is celebrated on October 5 across America. This is the best date to bring goodness into the world! Sometimes the attention from others is so lacking … But making up for it is simple: do something nice for someone, and you will definitely get a positive return. This is the law of life!

History

The idea of ​​doing good for others has existed at all times. Despite the fact that there have been many bloody wars in the history of mankind, good has always defeated evil. For centuries, people lived together, committed acts of generosity, care. This can be compared to the time of the Second World War: people consciously went to protect those who were persecuted by the Nazi regime.

National Day is not about taking risks: just making a nice change for the person who needs it. Scientists have proven that this has a beneficial effect on human health: oxytocin is produced, a hormone that reduces blood pressure and anxiety. Finally, no matter how trite it may sound, the good returns like a boomerang!
