Warm someone's heart

means to make someone feel loved or comforted

Example:

Her kind message really warmed my heart.

Hello and welcome to a weekend episode of Daily English
where we try to grow, in English and in life.

We are approaching Christmas and  Christmas isn’t just about lights, food, or gifts.
 It’s about remembering that, in a hard world,  we still choose to be kind to each other.

We often think of kindness as something we do for others.
 Something generous. Something soft.

But here’s a deeper truth: Kindness is not weakness. Kindness is a quiet strength.

Because it asks us to stay open, even when we’ve been hurt, to stay gentle even when we’re tired, to care even when no one is watching.

Here’s something psychology shows us:

When we act with kindness, our brain releases chemicals like oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin — the ones connected to trust, reward, and emotional balance.

But let me say this in one clear line: Every time you choose kindness, you are also choosing safety for your own nervous system.

You’re telling your body: “Right now, I am not under attack. I can soften.”

And that’s why kindness doesn’t just change relationships. It changes how your body experiences the world.

Another truth we often forget is  Everyone you meet is carrying something you cannot see.

A worry. A loss. A fear. A story they don’t know how to tell.And honestly… so are you.

Kindness begins when we remember that.


A warm relevant expression is “Warm someone’s heart.”

It means to make someone feel loved or comforted — and when you do, your own heart feels warmer as well. Like this example: Her kind message really warmed my heart.

So maybe this year, we stop seeing kindness as just something nice. And start seeing it as:

 A way to protect our own hearts. A quiet form of self-care. A first step toward self-love.

Because when you choose warmth for others, you’re also teaching yourself: This is how I want to live.  This is how I want my inner world to feel.

So this Christmas, or right today, try this:

Choose one small act of kindness today. For someone else. And while you do it, pause and notice: What is happening inside me right now?

If you feel even a little softer, let that be your sign.

Maybe this is how you begin the new year: not by fixing yourself — but by being kinder, inside and out.

Let me leave you with this: Kindness doesn’t only change the world around you.It changes the world inside you too.

Today’s episode was just a reminder for all of us — me included.

I hope your days are full of warmth and kindness.

See you tomorrow.
