As human beings, we love taking, and most of us hold this idea that giving is for the financially rich.

That philanthropy is a sham used by the rich, but here’s the truth: We all have something we can give.

It doesn’t need to be material objects but can also be an act of service.

Giving back is a high vibrational act that signals your abundance and your ability to receive more.

Giving also makes you feel great about yourself (consider it a perk).

10 ways to give back to your community

• Blood donation: you would be surprised by how many people actually need this precious liquid, check in with a local hospital.
• Creating employment opportunities: creating a job or jobs is actually a lovely thing as long as you maintain a “good work ethic.”
• Donating to charities:Whether it’s your local church or a worthy cause you believe in.
• Volunteer work: check with institutions or community programs in need of volunteers.
• Mentoring: we all have something we could teach the younger generations.
• Support local business: visit that new cafe/restaurant, DIY shops, etc.
• Give free tutoring lessons:If you are really good at something, i.e., playing the piano, you can offer to teach your neighbor’s kids for free.
• Visit nursing homes: spend time with the elderly and foster meaningful relationships, they have a lot of wisdom to pass down.
• Advocate for local issues: use your voice for the benefit of your community.
• Lastly, be a good neighbor: Become someone who thinks of the well-being of others.

How often you choose to give back to your community is your choice, but we advise planning it into your New Year agendas every time.
