6 ways to have a ‘less is more’ holiday
MORE generosity
Between the festivities and social calendars, it’s easy to overlook those who may not experience the season with such abundance. At our core, humans have an innate desire to give back and show love.
Volunteered time, donated goods or monetary contributions are all appreciated throughout the season. Sites like VolunteerMatch.org offer search tools to find local, national and even virtual opportunities to give back.
Generosity fills a gap in the community, but it’s also good for our own health. Reports published in Nature Communications show that serving others improves our own happiness, lowers stress hormones and ultimately increases overall life span.
