Optimizing Yourself – Week 50 – Dec 2 – 8, 2013 – Think About What I Can Give This Holiday Season

Think about giving
Giving is Like a Gift to Yourself

During the holiday season, I am happy, and thinking about what I have to do and prepare,  but many people aren’t so happy.  This week, I am going to think about what I can give those people who are in need of some help at this time.  For this week’s exercise,  instead of focusing on what I have to do, I am going to think about what I can give, and give unselfishly to help someone else.

I want to give what I can to help others emotionally or financially, with a gift of my time or resources.

Whether I donate food or money to the food bank, or warm clothes to the homeless, or simply encourage someone who is discouraged, I am going to think about giving this week.  This is like a gift to myself because giving to someone else feels good, and has it’s own reward.

I will let you know how it goes next week.
