Monday: The Day of Giving
The Seven Spiritual Laws for Parents by Deepak Chopra has inspired my family to make Mondays the day of giving.
Combat the Monday back to work blues by finding the source of true happiness through giving. Start your week out right by entering a positive energy cycle. On this day focus on one way you can give.
Ways to Give: A Few Ideas
1. Donate unused pantry items from the week before to a food bank
2. Give Blood
3. Give your time by helping someone, or give your attention to someone who needs it.
4. Make a donation. It doesn’t have to be a large $ amount to have a big impact! During the week spend only dollars and save all the change. Use that change to make a donation on Mondays. Imagine a world where we all did that? A few cents could have a giant impact!
*In addition, you can also give by joining the Meatless Monday movement and help our planet!
If you start your week off with a day devoted to giving, you are putting yourself in a positive energy cycle, empowering both you and those you help to have a more positive week.
