Know Why You Should Give
Giving mindfully with help you experience a “helper’s high.” “Helper’s high” is the term coined by Arizona State University psychologist Robert Cialdini to describe the euphoria reported by frequent givers in his research. These good feelings may lower the output of stress hormones, which improves cardiovascular health and strengthens the immune system. Now is the time to experience “helper’s high,” by donating money to the Red Cross for our Japanese family.
