Recall a kind gesture from a stranger
Warum dieses Habit hilft
Remembering unexpected kindness activates the brain's reward centers and increases oxytocin production, enhancing feelings of social connection and trust in humanity.
Research in the Journal of Positive Psychology shows that recalling positive social interactions boosts mood more effectively than recalling individual achievements, creating lasting emotional benefits.

Kurz erklärt
In a world saturated with negative news, recalling small acts of kindness from strangers serves as powerful evidence that goodness exists everywhere. These moments often go unremembered but carry profound emotional weight when brought to conscious awareness.
This practice rewires our attention to notice and retain positive social interactions, creating an 'availability bias' toward kindness that makes us more likely to both notice and perform kind acts ourselves.

I remembered a time when a stranger paid for my coffee when I was fumbling for my wallet. I'd almost forgotten that moment, but recalling it made me realize how many small kindnesses I experience. Now I notice them more often - someone holding a door, a smile from a passerby. It's changed how I see my community.
