is it just me or does it not feel like Christmas is right around the corner? as a general rule, most people are more giving around the holiday season and it really warms my heart to know there’s more good going around in the world. i’ve been reflecting on what i’ve given back this year and to be honest, it hasn’t been much since i was so focused on rebuilding myself and transitioning to life in california. despite the lack of giving though… it’s never too late to do good. i’ve decided with only 12 days left of Christmas, i’m going to commit to one good deed a day and YOU CAN TOO!
Here are 12 ideas on how to Give Back this holiday season:
- Go through a checkout line and pay for the car or person behind you
- Send a Christmas card to someone who’s made a difference in your life this year
- Next time you’re going through a door, wait to keep the door open for the next person behind you
- Give some extra change the next time you see a bell ringer at any storefront
- Genuinely compliment someone on something you really find unique about them
- Send a text message to a loved one telling them how much you appreciate them
- Rummage through your old stuff and donate some of those things you don’t really use anymore that could really be helpful to someone else
- Pick up some trash you see laying on the ground and throw it into the nearest trash can
- Smile at everyone you encounter in your day
- Intentionally pray or keep someone in your thoughts and send them good vibes
- Offer your help to someone
12. Go one day without complaining, negative thoughts and just love on YOU
i’ll keep you all posted on the progress of my good deeds. good luck and let me know how it goes for you! happy holidays.
love simply, love beyoutifully,
