Help the World By Simply Helping Yourself

By Hal Neff


You can help the world by being nice to yourself. A few believe that you must be completely selfless and set other individuals and things above yourself to be able to spend your time in a worthwhile way. But this is not always the case.

When you are nice to yourself, you can actually spread that kindness to other people in a viral way.

Work Out Your Troubles First

When you continuously ignore your own desires and needs, you will eventually become stressed out and frustrated. You just can't approach life ignoring what you truly want. You can tell yourself that you're doing it for the good of the world, but in the end it will be quite the opposite.

If you're stressed out, other people will notice, even if you think you have bottled it up inside. There are subtle hints that you give away. Your muscles may be tense, or you might have a nervous tick. You also can be preoccupied and noticeably distraught during times where you may have normally took part socially.

You may think that it is no big deal, but it really could be. People can pick up on negative or nervous mentality, and become stressed themselves!

Have you ever been with someone who's clearly enjoying life with a big smile and relaxed nature? Their own attitude is infectious, isn't it? You'll probably end up enjoying your day a whole lot more simply because you came across this person.

Remember that the opposite is also true. If you act negatively, you might end up sending somebody home in a negative mood even though you never intended it.

Spreading The Spirit

Once you've worked out your own issues, you can then spread an optimistic spirit to the entire world. You can accomplish this without even trying. Go about your day in a positive light, and you could find that your joyful mood extends to everyone, even the girl at the checkout counter at the nearby shop.

You can also knowingly and positively spread around a good spirit. Pass out true compliments to both friends and strangers. Tell your friends and family what they really mean to you. They will value hearing it.

You might also find that these actions make you feel good in the process. It's just another approach that a simple gesture could help you to spread happiness to the world.

New Ideas

If you are up to it, you can take everything to yet another level. Brainstorm new ideas and activities that you find personally enjoyable and also help other people as well.

With some creative thinking, you'll probably think of a number of things that fall within your personal skill set that may benefit the world.

* For instance , if you enjoy woodworking or other house building skills, join your local chapter of Habitat For Humanity and spend time with them on your weekends.

* If you enjoy environmentally friendly activities, participate in them in your spare time. You can also spread an awareness of these activities to your friends and colleagues.

Feeling like you've made a good difference will help you feel good about yourself!

Your True Self

Your job is to find your own true self. Just that act alone does a lot for helping the world. You can inspire other people to find their true selves and the world will be a happier place for all you come into contact with.
