Four Ways Giving Is Good For You

by  • 

People often think about how to start or expand their businesses, make more money, travel to many places, and do all the fun things they dream about and have on their bucket lists. While these are worth it, new research has mentioned how giving back can benefit the receiver, the giver, and the entire community. Could this be the reason behind the famous Anne Frank quote that “no one has ever become poor by giving”? Below are a few reasons why giving back might benefit you. 

  1. It helps you connect with your passion.

It is essential to be enthusiastic about everything you do. Giving back can be a terrific non-business approach to connecting with something you are passionate about. For instance, if you are enthusiastic about education, you could establish a community or school to help others learn. Connecting with your passion can enrich your life, acquaint you with your community and connect you with like minded-people with new, interesting ideas. Try and avoid keeping your passion hidden from the rest of the world. Please share it so you can delight others and increase your likelihood of connecting with others who share your interests.

  1. You help someone in need.

Many people are fortunate to have grown up in regions with access to possibilities that others can only dream of. Even in a less privileged society, there are ways you can support less fortunate individuals. This may include donating items such as extra clothes, appliances, furniture, gadgets, and other household items or cash to a local charity. Getting rid of your items can be simpler when you know they will have a second life elsewhere. And you would be helping someone out of a difficult situation. The feeling of knowing that you are the reason why someone smiles is healthy for your mind and body. While at it, you can use professionals like Evergreen Junk Removal to eliminate items you don’t need.

  1. It promotes social connection and cooperation.

Research has demonstrated that when you assist others, your generosity will likely be reciprocated —sometimes by those you helped or someone else. These relationships foster a feeling of trust and collaboration, which improves our bonds with others. Research has also shown that healthy social interactions are essential for excellent physical and mental health. And whenever you provide for others, you build a supportive community all parties can rely on.

  1. Giving evokes gratitude.

Whether you’re giving or receiving a present, it might provoke thoughts and feelings of appreciation. It can also instill thankfulness in the receiver, which has many associated benefits, including improved mood, health, and social ties. A research project on Gratitude and Thankfulness discovered that educating students to “count their blessings” and develop gratitude helped them work out more, be more cheerful, and feel much better about their life.

You don’t have to be so rich to give back. Even with the little, you can still lend a helping hand to others. You will be surprised how accomplishing and sweet it feels to assist others.
