3 Ways Giving Increases Abundance
Have you ever wondered why some people are able to live their lives with such abundance? Maybe they have more money, or maybe they have the perfect job. But what if I told you that it's not about how much you have, but rather how much you give. Giving is one of the most powerful ways to increase your own personal abundance. Check out three ways in which giving can help bring more into your life and 5 ways you can give easily.
I would like to preface this conversation with a thought that this is all about charitable giving or giving with no expectations of a return. We will talk about the benefits of doing it with not expectations. But when you do it with the expectation of something in return….you will often be left feeling resentful. My favorite series of books is the go-givers series by bob burg. It is based on the laws of success and giving without the expectation of something in return. This is the path to success. Excellent series of books. They are actually short parables and super easy to read!
So let’s dive into this.
Giving to others is a way of taking care of yourself
When i say this I mean mental, emotionally and sometimes even physically (depending on what you are doing). Think about building a house for habitat for humanity….very physical activity.
It feels good! When we do something for someone else, it releases all those feel good brain chemicals
This is my favorite recommendation to anyone who is feeling low.
It keeps you humble, which again helps on all levels . You will have a greater appreciation for what you already have and in turn this increases your vibration and brings more good to you. (The key to that is that you have to be open to receive it!).
You'll develop a sense of self-worth through generosity
When you give, especially when it is a financial gift, you are making others around you more abundant and/or enriching their lives. You'll learn new skills and build confidence by volunteering- when you find it, give generously without thinking about what's in it for you - the universe will reward you
Again those feel good endorphins are released which makes you feel good about yourself.
Money is energy and is meant to flow
It is good to release it and it is good to receive it. When you have money and you release it, especially for doing good, the universal flow of energy returns it to you tenfold. I always find it interesting those that want to wait till they are very financially successful to donate….but it should be something everyone does all the time. Even if it is giving of your time if you are at a place in life where you have less money to give.
5 Ways to give easily...
1. Give of your time - volunteer at a soup kitchen or help out with an organization you believe in
2. Give away some of your unwanted items to people who need them more than you do
3. Be generous with compliments and encouragement for others
4. Donate money to charity or causes that are important to you
5. Pay it forward - be kind, helpful, and generous without expecting anything in return
