Day 3 Generosity
Have you practised the act of generosity before? Or have you witnessed others practising the act of generosity? If you haven't, then today is the day! Many people underestimate the power of giving; thinking that it's only for those who want to do good for others or have the intention to only give back to the community for the sake of an organisation or issue that they are passionate about. In reality, it's not like that at all!
Anyone ,regardless of age, gender identity, family background, income or nationality can give back in the form of kind acts.Something as simple as writing thank you notes to a friend, teacher or family member is a sign of generosity and kindness. The act of kindness is profound and even more so, the effects it has on the people displaying acts of generosity towards others, including themselves.Giving back has proven, throughout the years that it allows people to feel happy!It boosts social interaction that leads on to developing healthy relationships with others which all prove to have a positive effect on both mental and physical health!
