Move Yourself Up and Over...Give

Giving is so important not only to the recipient of the gift, but to the person giving; that I dedicated an entire chapter to giving in my latest book Up and Over; Boost Your Confidence When None is to be Found  The act of giving in a meaningful and intentional manner does something so important to the giver, that it can almost feel selfish. Don't let that deter you, the act of giving is about self care and selflessness. Give, give often, give spontaneously...just give of yourself and you will get a boost.

Here is a preview of the first section of the chapter on giving from my latest book - enjoy:

Chapter 5 – Give

When experiencing a lack of confidence, nothing will boost it quicker and painlessly than giving. The act of giving helps to move our thoughts away from ourselves and toward someone else, creating movement of focus and energy. And identifying that someone may need or want something that we have to offer provides an immediate boost to self-worth.

The gift can be simple, a kindness, an action, a thought shared with another; its main components are to be genuine and intentional. I wrote a book called  “One Hundred Days of Giving” which is loaded with ideas and inspiration for giving opportunities, most with no financial expectations, simply fun and creative ways to give and to provide a meaningful experience for someone else.

The process of first engaging in the practice of giving for one hundred days, and then, writing the book, created so much positive energy and confidence that I couldn't wait to share it with others. You can find one hundred daily giving opportunities and writing reflections in the book available as an e-book at all e-book distributors. This chapter contains new and alternative giving opportunities that are quick and easy to launch - enjoy!
