We know giving is good for our health. Between election anxiety, COVID-19, family, and work, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and stressed. Scientific studies have linked stress and altruism, proving that doing good and helping others can increase happiness. Altruistic behavior releases endorphins in the brain, producing a positive feeling known as the "helper's high." Here's a grab bag of ideas to get you on the road to stress-busting and doing good leading up to #givingtuesday #dogood #giveback #selfcare #feltoncares #feltonfamily #bayarea #sanfrancisco #FollowFelton #DoGood

Feeling lonely or isolated in shutdown? Let’s just say we FEEL you and are here to help. Studies are showing a rise in mental stress and depression with a second shutdown. Call the San Francisco Suicide Prevention Hotline (415) 781-0500 if you or someone you know is in crisis. #felton #sfsp #suicideprevention

Self-care is the best shield in times of uncertainty. #feltoncares
