“When I think of kindness, I think of Mr. Rogers, and how he would always remind viewers that they’re special, worthy and worth being listened to,” says Brian Gregory, LMFT, Synchronous Health Specialist. “What a great example. Kindness is stopping and listening, dialing it in with whomever you may be with in a moment, being present and hearing them for a bit.”
