Join the movement #GivingTuesday . . . start a tradition . . . make a connection and share.
I first shared this last year – it is a wonderful movement and worth sharing.
As you rush into the holiday season pause, enjoy a moment of quiet reflection and thankfulness. Can you feel the calm? Moments of still can lower your stress level.
Here is another way to drop your stress level – help others. Yes, that’s right; lower your stress by sharing.
Today is #GivingTuesday. What is it all about? It is simple.
#GivingTuesday is about giving. It’s about people making a choice to share what they have to help others.
You can learn more about this movement and follow updates @GivingTues on Twitter or check out the movement. Here. http://www.givingtuesday.org/
You can make #GivingTuesday whatever you wish. I have added this tradition to my calendar and I invite you to join me.
Here are my Tuesday plans:
- Sharing a smile with everyone I see. Sharing a smile takes focus and all it will cost me is a few extra muscle movements during the day.
- 24 simple acts of kindness, shared within my community, to help others. Simple choices easy to execute.
- At the end of the day, writing five notes to mail, four to people and one to an organization. In the notes will share about #GivingTuesday and give something special to help each.
Will you join me on #GivingTuesday?
No preparation is needed. Just set the intention, focus and share. You can simply share a smile, a tweet or a bit of your time.
I’d love to hear what you think about #GivingTuesday and, if you elect to join the movement, what you shared. Post a comment and share your thoughts.
