100 Ways to Nurture Yourself By Focusing on Others

Here are 5 ways to nurture yourself by helping and thinking of others, from the blog Demanding Joy.

1. Call a friend. – Think of someone who you enjoy and ring them up!

2. Give a compliment. – Telling someone that they had a fantastic idea or that they look beautiful in that color creates a pleasant environment and makes two people feel good for the price of one.

3. Give to someone in need. – Donating your time or your stuff or your money to someone less fortunate makes you feel good and puts your problems into perspective.

4. Tell someone you love them. – We often forget to say it out loud. It matters.

5. Spend time with people who make you happy. – Who nourishes and supports you? Surround yourself with those people.
