Instead of always needing or wanting something, or worrying or obsessing about food and dieting–concentrate on giving gifts to others. Here are some ideas for “getting outside of yourself.” <\/p>\n
— Give someone an hour of your time.
— Help a friend sort out the boxes in their garage or attic.
— Read to a child.
— Call someone who is in pain or not feeling well, and tell them you care.
— Offer a back or shoulder rub to your spouse, partner, or friend.
— Take time to listen to someone’s worries.
— Pick a nearby nursing home and go visit an elderly stranger.
— Offer to do someone’s laundry, or clean their house, or run an errand.
— Have a friend over for dinner.
— Baby-sit for new parents.
— Walk a neighbor’s dog.
— Give a lengthy foot massage at the end of a hard day.
— Invite a few friends over for tea and a silent meditation. <\/p>\n
