Hello ,
An Atlantic article highlights the many benefits of going through life as a giver. Among many others, giving reduces stress and promotes well being. "When people are stressed out, their first instinct is to protect themselves-or to retreat into a taker mentality. But operating like a giver may actually be more effective in buffering against stress and enhancing well-being.
On its face, this is counter-intuitive. Time is a scarce resource, especially for people who are stressed. Being a giver involves taking time away from yourself to help someone else. This could seemingly aggravate stress levels, but it actually alleviates them."
There are far more reasons to give to others than just personal gain, but this shows a powerful, positive trend: the power of selfless giving heals us and those around us in tangible ways.*
"In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring ye ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive." Acts 20:35
I pray that your day will be blessed, as you seek ways to bless others through God's grace and mercy.
Have a great day and God bless!
