Research has proven, that volunteering makes you feel good about yourself. It strengthens your self-esteem, gives you a sense of purpose, builds vocational skills and fills your heart with love. How? Well, read on…
Volunteering releases endorphins in your brain that pop and fizz like fireworks dedicated to just you. Schinnell Leake, founder of Extraordinary Birthdays has seen it. In our interview she explains how she’s seen it affect the people that volunteer for the birthday parties she host for children in homeless shelters. Imagine a full parade of people praising you because you did something good for someone else. See how that feels? Good right?
Volunteering has also proved to reduce stress because it fills you with a sense of purpose and accomplishment. Of course it does, when you feel good you do continue to do good things. You feel like all things are possible, if you just try. This gives you the power to push forward in life.
It does wonders for your career by giving you a place to learn and practice new skills. Volunteer time has launched many successful people into new careers. Experience and expertise, counts – no matter where you hone the skill.
Even if your recently retired from work, don’t retire from life – volunteering can keep you mentally stimulated and fill your heart with love. Watch now!
