Sharing Feels Good :
The more we share, the more gratitude we bring into our lives.
When we share with others, what we learn is that we’re actually creating more joy, gratitude, trust, and community. This not only advantage for ourselves, but also for the world.
By giving away a portion of my favorite food to a friend, I automatically thought about what I was winning in the situation. Well, I guess a lot of my thought patterns focused on what I was gaining not losing.
Every time I opened up, I thought about how I was emotionally stronger than before. Same as traveling into new destinations, if I shared my thoughts or something I learned with someone, even if a stranger on a train, I thought of how I may have just given them the advantage but in fact I achieve more.
When we give our knowledge, advice or time, whatever, what we’re really doing is expressing more of who we are.
So we’re not losing anything since the happening is actually that we’re giving ourselves more of an opportunity to be genuine, which in turn makes us feel better. A study in Neurological studies at Kyoto university proved when people share knowledges and experiences, their brains release the hormone oxytocin, sometimes called the “feel good” hormone, which relieves stress. That’s why people love responding to Facebook comments or Instagram likes or tweets for hours a day to prickle oxytocin level indeed.
If I make a reservation at a restaurant, the establishment trusts that I will show up – and I believe that when I get there, I’ll be seated. Similar on planning traveling, booking a hotel, finding a place to eat out or sightseeing options, if you think about it, most all of our decision making involve sharing information of some kind. And we trust not only people we know, but also absolute strangers with related desires and needs.
What I like most about sharing on google map is the exact location edits. Imagine what the world would look like if we have to reserve the ticket but the office was moved month before and some people had already updates those beneficial information.
At the end of the day when you travel alone, for example, I do once or twice a year. Sharing with the world gives me not only the opportunity to celebrate my daily achievement or a trip accomplishment, but also passing through difficult determination, something of my life value.
Last but not least, sharing problem’s stories besides made the pain subside for a while. Until someone or more simply saying “I’ve been through it, too” this is such a mental reassuring that I am still a normal happy person.!
