Do you want to pay it forward this holiday season in a nice way? Here are 5 ideas for feel good-acts that won’t cost you even a dime:
1. Write a brief thank you-message on the Gratitude Circle app. Even add a picture. It’s free!
This social media friendly-app lets you post pictures and text about what or who you’re grateful for. Add a post simply after you and a friend sign up, and you’ll have an authentic thank you-note. It’s a wonderful way to pay it forward this holiday season.
2. Volunteer with a food bank.
If you have time, try volunteering to help distribute food this holiday. It will help you pay it forward through just sharing your time, and it can be very rewarding to serve a nice warm meal especially on a cold winter’s day.
3. Donate clean used clothes that are still good.
Whether through Goodwill, or another organization, donating clean used clothes that you don’t need can go a long way for someone who might feel cold this holiday. The time put in can be a great way to pay it forward.
4. Give a genuine compliment.
Who doesn’t love a genuine compliment? Perhaps for a co-worker that has a nice sweater or an old friend, compliments can have a resounding effect, especially on a person’s not-so-good day. Try giving one out soon!
5. Smile and say hi.
By smiling and saying hi, you could brighten someone’s day in a few seconds. We’re all different, so while some of us may think this is normal, others might find the smile and decorum very uplifting.
Hope these 5 ways are a good boost to your repertoire of giving this holiday season!
