Help the World By Simply Helping Yourself

By Hal Neff


You can help the world by being good to yourself. A few think that you need to be totally selfless and set other individuals and things above your own in order to spend time in a worthwhile way. But this isn't always the case.

When you are nice to yourself, you could spread that kindness to other people in a viral method.

Sort out Your Own Problems First

When you constantly disregard your own wants and needs, you will eventually become stressed and frustrated. You simply can't approach life ignoring what you really want. You may tell yourself that you are doing it for the good of the world, however in the end it'll 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 could be tense, or you might have a nervous tick. You also could be preoccupied and noticeably distraught at times where you may have normally participated socially.

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

Have you been around someone who is clearly enjoying life with a big smile and calm nature? Their attitude is contagious, isn't it? You will likely end up enjoying your entire day a whole lot more just because you came across this person.

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

Spreading The Spirit

Once you have worked out your personal problems, you may then spread a positive spirit to the entire world. You can do this without even trying. Go about your day in a good light, and you could find that your joyous mood extends to everyone, even the girl at the checkout counter at the nearby store.

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

You may also find that these actions make you feel good in the process. It's just another way that a simple gesture may help you to pass on joy to the world.

Fresh Ideas

If you are up to it, you can take everything to yet another level. Brainstorm 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 can benefit the world.

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

* If you enjoy environmentally friendly activities, engage in them in your free time. You may also pass on an awareness of these activities to your friends and co-workers.

Feeling like you've made a positive difference can 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 may inspire other people to find their true selves and the world would be a better place for all you come into contact with.
