Show Up Confident For Your Community
Dec 15, 2020Who likes to give? And how about giving things that are going to help your community 'be well'?β£β£

As a long-time mentor, I've always gotten questions about deciding the best way to "give back" that feels authentic and true to oneself. β£

I always give the same answer. Connect the giving to your values. In my book, πππ€π¬ ππ₯ πΎπ€π£πππππ£π©, I share how to start tapping into your values. They will lead the way for any new confidence. I do it whenever I feel lost too.β£

One of my values is optimism, which is why I said "YES" to joining Shaun Newman Podcast today as part of the Lloydminster Region Health Foundation Radio-a-thon this year. The personal reasons I give to the foundation all have to do with giving or encouraging optimism.β£β£

β¨My dad used the dialysis unit multiple times per week, and excellent staff always lifted his spirits - giving optimism.β£β£
β¨Having the dialysis service in the community meant being able to live with more freedom - encouraging optimism.β£β£
β¨Because of I saw what it did for him, I want others to feel that sense of hope and optimism.β£β£
β£β£
So I made my $1000 donation including a massive stack of books to the LRHF Dialysis and Chemo patient care bags so that when a new patient starts their journey to wellness, I can share some pages of hope and optimism when they may need it most.β£β£

Give based on your values. Know why you give. Know what you express when you give, and that will fill your heart to the brim (and may even leak out your eyes a little like me.) If you're not sure where to start to figure it out, I'll give you the 1st chapter of πππ€π¬ ππ₯ πΎπ€π£πππππ£π© for FREE, it might help you redefine why you give.
