Volunteering has been a great way for me to reduce anxiety. Studies show that people who volunteer tend to have higher self-esteem, psychological well being and happiness. Win/win.
Later this week I'll be sharing my favorite place to volunteer and I hope you'll come back and check it out.
Today is the second Monday for The Blended Blog's "transition your summer clothes to fall" hop. Stop by and see what the stylish ladies have to say.
Have a wonderful week!
Ha- great minds think alike I mentioned today in my post something about service and happiness being related.
ReplyDeleteI just switched out all my summery clothes and brought over the darker heavier weight long sleeve clothes. It is fall but watch it get hot again! Volunteering is a great way to give back. I speak about breast cancer as a volunteer at health fairs.I often feel I get so much more than I try to give.
ReplyDeleteLana, I think it is wonderful to volunteer in someway... I am grateful for the church I am in, it gives so many opportunities to serve each other and many others in the community xox
ReplyDeleteI SO agree with this, Lana! I just shake my head at people who feel they have to travel somewhere to 'find themselves'. You don't have to travel. You just have to find someone to serve!
ReplyDeletePeople often tell me that they do not understand why I don't charge for my services. I never have in 30 plus years and I never will. If I can help people to better their health, it is a WIN/WIN
ReplyDeleteI'll check out the post! But I basically wear the same thing all year long, ha.
ReplyDeleteYou and me both lady lol.
DeleteVolunteering is awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the benefits of volunteering. It truly is win/win, isn't it. You meet the loveliest people and the experiences - be they good or hilariously dreadful - are always memorable. Looking forward to learning about your favorite place to volunteer!
ReplyDeleteThis is so true! Whenever I'm feeling disconnected and anxious, it helps me to reach out and touch someone else's life. Better than anything.
ReplyDeleteI love that you volunteer - it's so rewarding for the people you give the service to and to yourself for doing good. :)
ReplyDeleteI have to agree and I love this quote! Hope you had a great weekend Lana!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear about your favorite place to volunteer!
