Make a Difference and Make Stress Disappear

Sometimes life takes a turn for the worst and we get mired in our own problems, finding it hard to see a way out of them.

Stress can take its toll as you deal with a big stack of bills, kids who won’t quit arguing, and a marriage that’s hit a stagnant slump.

One of the best ways to relieve stress is to reach out and help someone else.

Volunteering is something that helps you take the focus off of yourself while allowing you to feel positive about what it is you’re doing.

When things are wrong at home or at work, it can often make you feel like a failure.

Even if the issue wasn’t your fault, you shoulder the burden until it becomes too much to bear.

Sure, you know how to pay the bills off, what to do to make the kids quit arguing, and how you should work on your marriage – but the problems you face can become grueling to address if you have no outlet for the stress they bring on.

You can find a volunteering opportunity that suits your personality. You don’t want to stand in line feeding people at a soup kitchen if it doesn’t fulfill you.

You can work in a volunteer group or as an individual.

Figure out where you feel you could make a big difference – would it be as a Big Brother or Sister, where you’re helping a child who doesn’t have a close role model to look up to?

Is it in helping adults learn how to read?

Sometimes we take the little things for granted, and volunteering can make us refocus on our lives – changing perspectives from what’s wrong, to what’s good about what we do have to be thankful for.

In a recent study in the UK, researchers found that nearly half of the volunteers said they felt less depressed when volunteering.

The number rose to over 70% when the volunteers used their professional experience to give back to the community.

And workplace volunteer programs have resulted in employees missing fewer days at work!

Even if you feel you’re already over-schedules, try to make some time (even once a month) to volunteer in your community.

Pick something that makes you proud and the veil of stress will soon lift from your life.

I recently discovered this site and I can tell you that my life has not been the same. I now come here EVERYDAY and spend at least 1 hour.
