The daily demands of our lives can become overwhelming very quickly. We’re busy, we’re stressed, we’re depressed, and we don’t have enough time. Why should we make an effort to volunteer? Why would we commit to serving others if it’s going to take more of our time and make us more stressed? The truth is that volunteering can improve your life just as much as the lives of those you help.
When you volunteer, you’re becoming a member of a larger community. You’re networking with unique and incredible people and you have the chance to learn about new industries and fields. If you donate your existing skills, you can further develop them and pick up a few more along the way. Volunteering can also lead to new career opportunities. Have you ever wanted to work for a nonprofit? Are you particularly interested in a service industry? Volunteering can be a great way to get your foot in the door, and you might not even know you want in until you get there.
Volunteerism makes you feel like you’re using your time more effectively.
Volunteering makes you feel like you’re using your time more effectively. When you choose to dedicate your own time to help others, you feel capable and are rewarded with a sense of purpose. It makes you feel like you can accomplish anything, and you’ll feel like you’re maximizing your own time.
Volunteering has been linked to a variety of personal health benefits. Volunteers have lower mortality rates and higher functional ability. Volunteers are happier, more fulfilled, and have lower rates of depression later in life than people who don’t volunteer.
Volunteering leads to increased life satisfaction. When you volunteer and make a difference in your community, you feel pride and accomplishment. When you choose a volunteer event, make sure it’s one that you know you’ll feel good about. Do you like working with animals? Would you rather work with people? Try to volunteer in a variety of different areas. Does it work best for you to donate a full day? Or a few hours at a time? Volunteering should never become another source of stress. Learn how you can most effectively help others.
Are you looking for a change in your life but don’t know where to start? Do you want to help others but struggle to know how? Do you want to be healthier and happier? Be selfish. Do something that’s truly good for you. Volunteer. Give yourself the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of serving others in need while making an incredible impact in your community.
