Thinking of Others

When is the last time you did something that made you feel good? Quite possibly it was when you helped someone simply because that person needed a helping hand. Whether assisting in changing a flat tire, holding open the door for a stranger, listening to a coworker talk about a problem, or even simply smiling at others while walking down the street, you end up benefiting from a selfless interaction as much as the person you help.

One rewarding way to help others is to perform service work. Organizations are always looking for volunteers, especially around the holidays. Think about what you enjoy or are good at doing, and then find a way to use your skills to help others. Teaching, gardening, accounting, painting, cooking, organizing, cleaning, driving there is a volunteer position out there for you. Not only will it keep your mind and body stimulated and energized, it will help those in need.
