Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible - Dalai Lama
Kindness is when you do something nice for someone else without expecting anything in return. It is being generous , thoughtful and helpful. Studies have shown that it has positive mind & body benefits for you the giver, the receiver, and for anyone who witnesses the act of kindness. (Who knew?!) What's more, kindness is contagious! People who are on the receiving end AND those who witness good deed tend to pay it forward, becoming agents of kindness as well. I don't know about you but this is the best contagious thing I've heard of in over a year.
Because self care is something we tend to have to remind ourselves to do, I was glad to hear that being kind to yourself provides the same great benefits. Talk about a win-win!
Being an agent of kindness doesn't have to cost a thing. Whether it is a compliment, sending a thank you note or letting someone in front of your at the grocery store or in traffic, small acts of kindness matter too.

Rhumel
Welcome back to our show.
Twanda
Welcome back everybody. This is Twanda.
Rhumel
And this is Rhumel . Hey girl. Hey,
Twanda
I just want to tell everybody about this experience. I had, um, a couple of days ago. I don't know about you, but my doorbell wings all the time because I'm getting packages dropped off and I kept this package with my name on it. And even look at it. I was like, yeah, I'm sure I ordered something. I didn't look at it right away. And then, um, I went to grab it and that was, open-ended trying to remember that, what did I buy that would fit in here? You know, how you do because everything is delivered and it out pops a beautiful, uh, candle. At first I thought it was a mug, but it was a candle. And the outside says I've always wished.
I had a friend like you or something like that. And I'm looking at like, Oh, when did I sing this to myself? But y'all, Mel sent me a beautiful candle and it's so nice. Cause I just burned it. And I say, Oh, my friend sent me dad. So thank you, Mel.
Rhumel
welcome. You're welcome.
Twanda
What send me the candle?
Rhumel
You know, I just had an urge to do something nice for you. I like literally did. I was like, I stopped what I was doing. I was actually washing dishes and I had this urge to do something nice for you. And so I was like, who cares about the dishes anyway? So let me go and find her something.
Twanda
use me as an excuse to get out of your dishes.
Rhumel
I, you know, I hate some dishes, but I was like, let me go and do this. So I sat down and I found that within, I would say two minutes and I was like, no, this is good. This is good. You know, she likes a candle, so, you know, you can use that. So, um, yeah, so I .
Twanda
So that made me feel really, really just like, Oh, my friend was thinking about me. She didn't even tell me in advance.
Rhumel
Nope. And I was sitting there like, did she get here? Did she get it?
Twanda
Yeah, I bet you are waiting because I was like, what did that order for myself? I just don't remember, but I'm sure it's something, you know, so
Rhumel
so hard because I talked to you just before.
Twanda
You did. And I was like, thank you. I'm Amazon tells you it was there.
Rhumel
As they did. Oh,
Twanda
thank you. That made me feel really good. I enjoyed getting it. And then every time I look at it, it's like, Oh, my friend said that to me.
Rhumel
Yeah.
Twanda
Kind of helps us introduce the topics for today, which is kindness.
Rhumel
You know what I did not, when I did that, I was not thinking of this topic. And when you brought that up, just now, I was like, Oh, I wonder where she's going with this. I did that. I did that.
Twanda
You did that. It's like you gave us a little episode and even though it.
Rhumel
I know. I know. So yeah, we wanted to talk about kindness and I think with the world being the way it is and how jacked up, right.
Twanda
We can use some more kindness in the world right now.
Rhumel
We do!. And I think we kind of lose sight of the fact that there are a lot of kindnesses happening around us. We spent a lot of time focusing on things that, um, are really bad
Twanda
That's true. I see it on the news all the time. I don't even want to talk about it, but yeah, there's a lot of ugly stuff going on
Rhumel
A lot ugly stuff.
Twanda
and I get mad when the news doesn't report enough kindness, but the truth is we can be the agents of kindness so we can see that ourselves.
Rhumel
I like that. I feel like singing some kind of like da-da-da-da, agents of kindness. That's silly.
Twanda
Find some way the agents of kindness. I don't know if I were agents of kindness on my shirt, if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but I think we'll probably get into that type of conversation as we go through. So I know you did some research on the benefits of kindness.
Rhumel
Yeah. You know what? I did not realize that there's like all whole like research there there's research about kindness and what it does for us
Twanda
What it does for us.
Rhumel
as givers and as receivers and
Twanda
it gets to the receivers. That's what I was thinking about. And you had, you make somebody else feel good or you cause a positive impact on that particular person,
Rhumel
But, yeah. So there, there are other phase for first. I want to just talk about like, what is kindness? Like let's just get that definition out there. Right?
Twanda
Okay. So I didn't look up a definition, but I can just roll off the top of my head and then you can correct me,
Rhumel
Okay. Okay. Go for it. Go for it.
Twanda
do something nice for somebody else without expecting anything in return.
Rhumel
I think that's a wonderful definition.
Twanda
up that off the top of my head. Thank you. I'm going to take a pile on a curtsy right here.
Rhumel
yeah. I think is great. I think basically just being generous and, and being considerate, thoughtful and
Twanda
than the Soviet heart, you just want to do something good in the world,
Rhumel
And being helpful. Right.
Twanda
Okay. Helpful. That's right. April, may.
Rhumel
Yeah. So, um, in my, in my, uh, search for kindness, like how does it affect us? I found out that it does affect both our body, like our physical body, our mind, and it affects, um, the people around you. So
Twanda
I do something nice for somebody else. Your research that said it's affecting my body and my mind.
Rhumel
Yes. Yes.
Twanda
And other people besides the one that I did something nice one.
Rhumel
Right. So
Twanda
Well, this is like more serious than I thought.
Rhumel
exactly, exactly. You know, um, I was not expecting it, but so I gave you a gift. Right. And so the act of me giving that gift, um, Was it reduces, it reduces your blood pressure. Okay.
Twanda
this is good
Rhumel
Yeah. It reduces your
Twanda
handles by everybody. You get a candle. You get again, though.
Rhumel
know. Yeah. There's like the, it releases like, I think it's, there's a whole like thing behind the whole blood pressure relief, um, going down because it actually something happens where your vessels actually, um, get bigger.
So it
Twanda
my, because I did something nice.
Rhumel
yes. Isn't that
Twanda
Do I have to do something nice? Like drop off a gift and then hide around the corner and watch them get it and see the joy on their face? Or is it just doing the thing and knowing I, I helped brighten somebody's day as is interesting. I hadn't thought about that research.
Biological research can be done on
Rhumel
Yeah, I didn't know it either, but apparently it lights up your brain. Like they've done neuroscience, neuro where's that neurotransmitter re you know, like put these people like under an MRI or something, and they can actually see the physical reactions that people are having from, you know, from this. But, um, another thing is like cortisol.
Cortisol, you know, that's the stress, that's a stress
Twanda
I remember we talked about it. Yeah. Other episodes about exercise.
Rhumel
Yeah. And it like causes you to get a big belly and all that kind of stuff.
Twanda
Oh yeah. I remember that. Remember that's that's my problem. I got too much of that.
Rhumel
well, it also reduces.
Twanda
is too much of the
Rhumel
No. Right, right, right. It's too much cortisol then you, I get it. But when you also do something kind, it reduces the amount of cortisol that is in your body. It helps to de-stress you and, um, give you an opportunity to, um, it gives your body an opportunity to lower that stress that's in your body that would, um, Help with the release of cortisol.
So,
Twanda
Yeah. I feel like something like that happened when you, when you would breastfeed and it did something very calming and relaxing, but I'm not doing that no more. Then I'm really down with you have to go back there. So I guess I should just be kind to people that will work.
Rhumel
well, you know, I think it goes back to the whole mind, body connection.
Twanda
Um,
Rhumel
And, you know, and people are making more and more. Um, I think it's something that's always been there, but I think people are starting to recognize it more
Twanda
You know what I know doctors are always telling me now, because I'm feeling attacked that I should meditate more because of this mind, body connection in it. But then they'll say, you know what you need to do. I've prescribed for you five acts of kindness this week. Go do that. And you'll feel better than that.
I mean, that seems like. So maybe I can incorporate it in our lives as a practice that we as a family. Do you know?
Rhumel
I think it, I think it would be good, but cause there's like more of that whole mind body thing. Okay. So for the Mo for your physical mind, you, um, release serotonin and dopamine. Okay. And those are those feel good? Um, chemicals
Twanda
Yes.
Rhumel
get released. And so it makes you feel, um, good there's feelings of well-being satisfaction.
And, um, you know, I think that like dopamine, like those are things that you think of when you're happy and.
Twanda
that's, it's like when I'm kind to others, I am also kind to myself. I mean, just by, by doing the nice thing, I get a wonderful kickback.
Rhumel
yeah, you do. And the, and then the
Twanda
A win-win situation.
Rhumel
it's a win-win situation now. So I get that as the giver. You also get that as the receiver, and guess what, if you've watched the kindness. You also get the same things.
Twanda
Oh, if I see, Oh wait, like we would have these shows called, um, television shows like touched by an angel. Okay. Now I know this is fake. You know, it's a show. It's a script are even those shows, those real life shows where you get to see people caught on camera doing really nice things and it makes the viewer feel good too. So maybe that I can see that I have experienced that. I was trying to think of any other chance, opportunities for me to see people doing kind things. I could see that
Rhumel
And you know,
Twanda
it is contagious. I'll give you a story. Oh, where are you?
Rhumel
tell your story.
Twanda
Well, I'm probably not going to take out all the words out of your mouth. And, um, but I've heard about stories where people will pay somebody. Else's a drive through bill. So it's like, Hey, I'm going to pay my bill and whatever it is, the person behind me. And then when that person comes up, they're like, Oh, your, your food's been paid for, you would think people would just say, cool, thanks.
Yay. Drive off. It's my lucky day. But many scenarios are said that that person was able, Hmm, let me pay off the person behind me. And that goes on and on. And that people do that. I, that would be another example of being contagious. And it's funny because the person who got their meal paid for is getting all the good feels about, wow.
Somebody did something for me, but then they turn around and spend the same money.
Rhumel
right,
Twanda
But they do it for somebody else. And then that they get the benefit of feeling like the giver as well as giving to somebody else and then passing that on. This is amazing. I like that.
Rhumel
And you know, like if someone were to, um, like your, if you were telling somebody the story of like, Oh, I got, I received something and it was so nice. I couldn't believe that someone did that for me. And you were telling somebody else. You know, it might spark something in them do something else kind for somebody else.
And so it can be contagious in that way as well. So,
Twanda
That's good to know. Cause I always, whatever reason I have, I can recall having thoughts about, well, if you do something nice. You shouldn't tell somebody, you should keep it to yourself. Otherwise you are. It might turn into you just trying to get, um, cool points are brownie points. You know, you want, you're trying to lift yourself up as, see, look at me doing nice things.
You know, Instagram hashtag blessed. I don't know.
Rhumel
Yeah, no, I have an opinion about, I have an opinion about that. I think, I don't think there's anything wrong with sharing a kindness. I think where it comes in. Um, where it can be problematic is when you share the kindness for the wrong reasons. Right? If you just want to share with somebody because you're excited, you've made someone feel good and.
It was something that you thought it was a really blessing, a really good blessing for them or whatever. I don't think anything. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, but if you are doing it because, um, you want to show off or you want everybody to know that you did it, you know, I think it has to do with the intent.
That's my, that's my kind of feeling like when I see stuff like on Instagram or Facebook, that makes me kind of a little bit. Weary like I'm like, huh. But honestly, if it really helps a person or if it makes somebody else do something that is kind, then I guess, I don't know it does it,
Twanda
That's funny. Cause you, you said that and I know what you mean at the same time. I saw someone else post that they, around Christmas time that they paid off some and they anonymously paid off somebody, a toy layaway at Walmart. And instead of thinking, Oh, look at them, just trying to show off my I've written.
My initial reaction was. That is such a good idea. Oh my bad. That's going to help somebody so much. If they hit your laying awake toys at Walmart and somebody comes through and just wipes out that balance. Huh? That is so amazing. And I got a really positive feeling about that. Hearing that I know people who do stuff like that.
Now you didn't say it. I would know it. I wouldn't have the good feeling and good feelings about her. I bet you, it has something to do the, they intent kind of bleeds through if she had been the type of person or if I had read it and shit, and it looked like, look at her, just trying to show out she got money.
She gonna throw. Yeah. But it didn't come off that way. So maybe that, like you said, the, the intent maybe that bleeds through so that we can see it. If it looks like, uh, if it's really just somebody being boastful. That maybe it actually would show through that way. I shouldn't surely think there's some people who seem to be so braggy out at the time.
They might do it for negative purposes. I don't know. I kind of feel like maybe we could see the difference or maybe the universe would just sort that out by itself, you know,
Rhumel
Right. Maybe we don't need to worry about it.
Twanda
that the universe, why you did it, whatever. And I'm going to take all the good feelings from Oh, somebody helps somebody else. And what does that do for me?
Rhumel
yeah. And I think I also learned that, um, when we're kind to ourselves, we can actually benefit from the same thing. So if we just didn't feel like being kind to somebody else today.
Twanda
Maybe, maybe just be kind to SL
Rhumel
Yeah. I mean, and actually, I,
Twanda
who deserves. And I.
Rhumel
I think it's more like when you're doing something that's actually good for yourself. I mean, like, I love a good ice cream, but I don't think that's, maybe it could be, I don't know.
Twanda
it could be, but you're right. When we take care of our bodies, that is self-care.
Rhumel
Yeah.
Twanda
needs to be looked at that way.
Rhumel
And also the way we talk to ourselves. Right. We, we often, when we,
Twanda
I compliment myself more in the mirror instead of saying what I usually say,
Rhumel
right, like, girl, you look good today.
Twanda
Oh my God, is that I mean,
Rhumel
Like girl, you and all your chins are looking fabulous today, girl. Yes. Work that extra chin, this Corona chin. Okay.
Twanda
I have not.
Rhumel
Hey girl, I have decided that we were going to name her right here. We go name.
Twanda
Okay. Yeah. I'm not sure about that, but I know I'm the work through that, but I can be more kind to myself. Um, Yeah. Use my, my, uh, good smelling lotion because I, I bought some lotion that is my take care of yourself. Lotion. I actually put on regular real G, but then I get the kind that I just love the smell.
And then I can, it, it stays with me for some time during the day afterwards, and then be like, wow, that just makes me feel good. And making sure I do that every so often. And especially when I need a pickup, you know,
Rhumel
Oh yeah.
Twanda
Like that. Some people like do nails when they want to feel good. That would never be me, but still, you know, some people do that.
I liked the way it looks when my nails are nice. I just don't like to do it myself or go to those places where they don't speak English to do it. I don't like that. That would be the opposite. Doing good. I don't know, but still I'm going to work on that room. I could, I need some help with the self kindness, but I will make a.
Wait to do, figure it out for myself and do and do the thing
Rhumel
I think that's great.
Twanda
that will make a difference that I can, I can be kind to myself. I can do that.
Rhumel
You know, and I think, um, one of the best things like, have you ever watched your kid be kind to somebody else?
Twanda
Let me think about it. Um, yes, I would say
Rhumel
I know you have.
Twanda
I know I do. I get to see that I was just going back to when they were little and I was like, Oh, but then my kids are far from little and I get to see them do kind things for each other a
Rhumel
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Twanda
Yeah. But I could see that. Yes. And it's B.
Rhumel
It is beautiful.
Twanda
Warm and fuzzy.
Rhumel
And I think one of the best things is to, um, actually take your kids no matter what the age out and do something kind for someone else, you know? And,
Twanda
That example show me what it feels like to do. Nice for somebody else. Let them be involved with it. That's good to them. Cause apparently just them watching it and being a part of it will make them feel good and we can make the whole world better over Mel.
Rhumel
Isn't that nice little small kindness, um, at a time.
Twanda
Okay. Well, hold on. These are small kindnesses. Why do you think we're not doing that on a regular anyway? Like what. So why isn't that something that we just have incorporated on a re like we don't get on the phone everyday? Like what you do good for people this week. Oh,
Rhumel
I think we, I think we do it all the time. We just don't. We just don't think about it. Like when you.
Twanda
I sure hope so because
Rhumel
It doesn't take like, you know, kindness doesn't take money. It takes, it's holding the door for somebody who has a bag, uh, you know, boxes in their hand or
Twanda
or helping them with stuff. Okay. We have to think in COVID times that could look very different, but hold on the door, you know, six feet away, you can do that. And then, um, compliments, uh, another way that, that now when I say compliments, cause around when I talked about this earlier, you, you give.
Genuine compliment. If their hair is jacked up, you don't compliment it as if it looks good. I really, I know people go to, to, um, the voice I'd have to voice. I think it was American idol back in the day. And they're like, all my friends say I sing really well. They're always compliment. And I'm like, they don't, they ain't your friends, they ain't for it.
They lying to you. So, so not Lon. And I doing compliments that are. Uh, not actually genuine, but there's probably something about most people. You can say something about their behavior, something they did at work. Something like a nice, nice earrings, you know, or a great smile or a nice outfit. There's I think it makes people feel good. My mom would buy me a new dress aware or a new shoes or something. And she'll when I would come home from school as a kid, she'd say, what did people say about your. Shoes are your dress. And I was like, don't nobody said anything. How should I feel bad? Because they all thought it was bad. You know, said anything about it, but I would hate that they would always be like, what did people say?
Like they were expecting that people would be nice. And a lot of times, I don't remember if anybody said anything about it. So I guess we could stand to do nice thing for people.
Rhumel
I think, I think that we, I think we do, but I think if we are mindful of it, that we can, um, do more and um, and just remember even small things matter, letting somebody go ahead of you in the, in the grocery store line, because
Twanda
only that, how about this? Y'all, you know, that person needs to merge in your lane or they need to get out of that, that, you know, they need to need some help getting out of the neighborhood to get onto the main street. You can slow down and blink your lights and let them go through like those things that.
That is valuable. That's like, I, I, my kid sees me do that. I will make sure, um, to think about the person who needs to get out of the neighborhood to join the main street while I'm at a stop light, just stop ahead of time, let them go in, you know, just those things. And I said, Oh, how did you do that? You, you could have driven up to the next car and waited, you know, it's like
Rhumel
Like it doesn't hurt to let somebody else that would be helpful. I would appreciate it
Twanda
Yeah. And I really love it when people, and I don't know if this is a Southern thing, if this happens in New York or wherever a Boston where they do the , but they do the, do the wave when you do something nice. And they, they, they merge in and they know you did something nice and they do the wave and I'm like, yes, I got the wave that I feel.
Good. Cause they knew I did something good and they waved and it's like, yes, I did something nice. And you knew when you acknowledged it with a wave and then I feel good. I don't really like it when they don't wave. I'm like, man, I did something nice. You don't give me the wave. You especially, you're like, I'm sorry about New York.
I just, you said as a, as a common example of the opposite of Southern,
Rhumel
York.
Twanda
Southern kindness, you know,
Rhumel
I think people in New York are kind to, they just, we just are different. We're just a little different.
Twanda
All right. If everybody from New York, you can write me directly.
Rhumel
I know, I know. I don't know why your mailbox is at like full dear Towanda.
Twanda
Okay.
Rhumel
That's so funny.
Twanda
was nice. So there's that? Oh, I read a book
Rhumel
Yes.
Twanda
and in the book they suggested doing something nice that I have never, ever considered a day in my life. Never considered doing this, which was to leave money in a public place for somebody to find. Now I remember when I read it, I was like, I remember finding money in different public places and being really excited about it.
I remember finding money in a public place and then turning it in, in case somebody looked for it. Now I returned it in, but that was only because my husband was to with me and he wanted to turn it in because I wanted to keep it. Cause I was thinking the universe wanted me to have it, but he thought we should turn it in.
And I'm thinking that person, we turned it into just got $20. But anyway, You know, the person at the, at the, at the store that we turned it into. They're like that person, like I would come back for $20. I just got $20. Anyway, whatever somebody got 20 extra dollars that day wasn't us. Cause we turned it in, but I know, I feel good when I find money.
Especially when, you know, you, can't like, it's not in a wallet with somebody's name and address in it now don't you return that that's the kind of thing, but when you just find money that can't be accounted for, it's like, well, I can't find whose money that belonged to yay. I got money and I off because I've had that experience several, uh, uh, I can't say several, but a few times.
When I lose money. Cause I know I was like, I must've dropped that out of my pocket when I reach for something else. I go, well, I guess I made somebody's day and I can know what that feels like, but I've never done it intentionally.
Rhumel
I've never done it intentionally either, but I do know finding money is like exceptionally, like it just puts your day. It ranks your day a
Twanda
You don't have to find a lot, you know, you find a little like $5. Just a $5 bill. That's just like, Oh shoot. Now I might try that. And I tried, I said I was going to try it. And even though I said I was going to try it, it's probably been two weeks and I have not even tried it, but you know what? I don't have money.
No, these days and Corona did carry cash. So w we want to have to ask to go to a bank and press a lot of buttons on the key. You then sanitize. I have to get my, okay. So I haven't done that. Maybe we need to just cash at people, randomly cash app. I balance, I don't even know I'm gonna type in a random name.
You, you get $5.
Rhumel
Hey, and I don't think they would be upset about it. I think it's a good idea. I, you know, I just think that too today, like when we talk about, um, being kind and like leaving the money and giving people that good feeling, I just feel like it's, it's a good thing to put into the universe. It's a, it's a good, um,
Twanda
Yeah, it's, it's a, it's a good energy to pass along. So paying it forward and, and being able to lighten the day. Cause we were talking about money and then I realized I don't handle money and then we could cash out. But I led me to think of other ways that you can do something great without paying like somebody a thank you note. You didn't even email, but thank you. Note, if you put night, I had gotten some notes from people that says, I, I really appreciate the way you did this. And when you said this to me, but just something that, that they say that they appreciate about something I did. Oh man. It's like, I saved those in my happy Grande folder.
Rhumel
I know, I, um, I did something for someone last year. Um, she is, uh, she's a little older and I know she has an aversion to computers, but she, um, her business, uh, was an in-person business. Right. And, um, and I knew that the whole, uh, Zoom and all that was going to be like was going to be challenging for her.
And I, I mean, I hadn't spoken to her. I hadn't spoken to her in like a year or two, but I just said, let me call her and see if I can help her with this, because I know it's going to be challenging with, um, to her. And, um, she was like, yeah, I don't know what's going on, blah, blah, blah. And I said, well, look, I'm here.
I'll help you just let me know, call me, just let me know if you need help. Cause I, you know, I didn't want to force it down her throat and, but that was in April, you know, so everything was popping off. Right. And for Christmas she sent me a thank you note. Um,
Twanda
Did you ever help her? Did she ever call you on it?
Rhumel
I never even helped her. she was so taken back by the fact that I had called, I thought about her and called her that she sent me a thank, you know, and I got all the fields all over again,
Twanda

Rhumel
I think so. I think it was great. I know. And I'm just excited that we actually took the time to talk about this. Cause I know we talk about so many other things that are going on in the world that are not nice. They're not fun. No.
