STRESSED-OUT CITIZENS

KINDNESS IS KEY

Seventy-three per cent of 25-34 year
olds felt their commute was negatively
impacting their stress levels, a recent
poll by online estate agent Good Move
suggested. This is largely unsurprising,
considering the recent growth in
popularity of London's slightly more
affordable (yet less-accessible) zones
three and beyond. These popular areas
provide more opportunity for delays
and diversions to leave us feeling
pent-up and frustrated, before we've
even arrived at the office. All in all, not
a great start to the day

Research has shown acts of kindness
stimulate the release of the love
hormone, oxytocin, which reduces
tension by lowering blood pressure, and
also makes us more trusting, friendly
and optimistic. Carrying out good
deeds triggers production of moodregulating Serotonin in the brain, so the
next time you get on the train, let
someone go before you, or throw an
anxious-looking parent a smile. If you're
an Uber addict, take an Uber Pool, and
chat with your fellow passengers; you
might just feel a surge of goodwill
