Help the World By Helping Yourself

By Hal Neff


You could help the world by being good to yourself. A few believe that you must be totally selfless and put other individuals and things above your own to be able to spend your time in a worthwhile way. But this isn't always the case.

When you're kind to yourself, you can extend that kindness to other people in a viral method.

Work Out Your Own Issues First

If you constantly disregard your own wants and needs, you'll eventually become stressed and frustrated. You just cannot go about life ignoring what you really want. You may tell yourself that you're doing it for the good of the world, however in the end it will be quite the opposite.

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

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

Have you ever been with someone who is clearly enjoying life with a big smile and calm nature? Their own attitude is contagious, isn't it? You'll likely end up enjoying your entire day a whole lot more simply because you encountered this person.

Keep in mind that the opposite is also true. When you act negatively, you may end up sending somebody home in a bad mood even if you never intended it.

Spreading The Spirit

Once you have resolved your very own issues, you can then pass on a positive spirit to the entire world. You can do this without trying. Go about your day in a good light, and you may find that your joyous mood extends to everyone, even the girl at the checkout counter at the local store.

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

You might also discover that these actions make you feel good in the process. It is just another way that a simple gesture could help you to spread joy to the world.

New Ideas

If you are up to it, you can take everything to yet another level. Think about brand new ideas and activities that you find personally enjoyable and also help others as well.

With some creative thinking, you will probably think of a number of things that fall within your personal skill set that could 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 free time. You can also spread an awareness of these activities to your friends and co-workers.

Feeling like you have made a positive difference will help you feel good about yourself!

Your Real Self

Your job would be to find your 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 would be a happier place for all you come across with.
