ASU's Sunshine for Sun Devil Project Changing Lives

By Jason Larrsohn


If you are part of an American family, odds are that you enjoy watching sports games with your family. Whether you are all-American and love baseball, or you'd rather shout and scream at the TV during NFL games, you most likely love sports.

The Sunshine for Sun Devil project is actively campaigning students to do good to those around them, i.e. small acts of kindness. They have found that people that serve experience better health and wellness. The people that they serve can't help but be uplifted as well. The project creators' hope is that they can create a campus that finds happiness and wellness in helping others; this is what they do.

For example, you may be all gathered together with your family to watch the latest NBA game, and during the commercial break, scantily clad women are shown on the TV drinking beer. If you are a parent who is strict about your children see and watch, this can become a problem.

First, it provides a place where the "served" people can thank their helpers. Second, research has shown that when someone expresses gratitude, they gain a multitude of emotional and health benefits.

PTSD is incurred on a mind after an individual undergoes a traumatic experience. The effects of PTSD can be extremely debilitating and those who suffer from PTSD are involved in a daily struggle against themselves and their past trauma.

Not everyone has this luxury, but if you do, you should take full advantage of it. Record the games while they're happening, and then gather together as a family at a time that works for everyone and watch the game.

Having DVR can be very nice, because once you've recorded the game, you can just fast forward through all of the commercials. It's nice because you can avoid an raunchy commercials, but you can also get through your game much, much faster.

The students respond to negative attitudes with negative attitudes. In striking contrast, a student that happily stops to help someone open a door, pick up their books, or otherwise assist them in their way will leave a positive impression on that student, making them want to help someone else. That positive attitude is just as contagious as the negative one. Students actually want to pay-it-forward when they receive an act of kindness.

Part of being a good parent is recognizing teaching moments in your children's lives. While it may seem silly to try to find a teaching moment during a sports game, it is definitely possible.
