The short story"Aha Moment" by Julia Alvarez demonstrates that the point is not to pay back kindness but to pass it on. The story expresses the idea that simple acts of kindness can make a great impact on people both mentally and physically. It can turn frightening and tense situations into assurance and aplomb. In paragraph 8, it is stated," no one screamed,no one panicked. I could hear small pockets of soothing conversation everywhere."

The author points out,"someone was comforting me and kept asking me,'Are you okay?" According to Julia if someone does something good and beneficial for you, you should pass

Heladóttír, Hallgren, Ekblom, Forsell (2016) sought to find an optimal dosage of exercise to elicit positive responses in those diagnosed with depression using three varying intensities. With frequency and duration kept consistent, 620 participants, including ages 18 to 67, were randomly assigned different treatment groups. These included (1) continuing their usual treatment, (2) light exercise like yoga, (3) moderate aerobic exercise, and (4) vigorous aerobic exercise. The training program lasted for 12 weeks, requiring subjects to exercise 55 minutes 3 times a week. The researchers measured depression severity at baseline and post-treatment while monitoring heart rate during every session using a monitor. Following the conclusion of the study, the results indicated that depression severity decreased in al exercise groups. However, the optimal dosage for exercise prescription remains uncertain. These findings suggest that light exercise, such as yoga, were more beneficial than the other intensities

Lubans, Plotinikoff and Lubans (2012) conducted a systemic review of physical based programs as interventions for at-risk youth. Significant increases in social emotional wellbeing were identified for outdoor adventure programs, sport and skill based programs, and physical fitness programs. However, the researchers report that the risk of bias in the existing studies is high. None of the studies reported power calculations to detect the hypothesized effect. Additionally, few of the studies reported attrition rate of participants, or randomization techniques. The authors conclude that although the existing studies of physical based interventions contain methodological flaws, there is some evidence to support these programs may offer psychological and social benefits for at-risk youth.

Maria Szalavitz, a writer for the TIMES magazine, wrote a media article in the social connection section called The Biology of Kindness: How It Makes Us Happier and Healthier. She said to stay physically and mentally fit you need to have strong relationships. Strong relationships are as important as avoiding chronic diseases and risk factors leading to those diseases. The information she referenced in the media article came from a study published in the Psychological Science Journal. Maria Szalavitz first introduces the researchers, the professors, and the location where the research took place. Then she explains the individuals facilitated in the experiment. Sixty five members of the university’s faculty and staff were in the study on meditation and stress. Half of the individuals randomly got assigned to take an hour-long class each week for six weeks in “loving-kindness” mediation. This mediation centered on warm and compassionate thoughts about yourself and others. In the class, participants thought compassionately about others by thinking their own words, thoughts, feelings, and concerns of life. Then they would expand their thoughts to include their social relationships with their families, friends, and anyone they had contact. The researchers taught people to silently repeat phrases that would make them happier and cleanse their minds from negative beliefs. In stressful situations, the instructor told the participants to say positive phrases to reassure themselves.
