Is Giving Tuesday Good Or Bad?

I spent the last week asking my network this simple question.
“What are your thoughts on Giving Tuesday?”

The overwhelming response summed up in one sentence would be;

âťť

“I think it’s a good reminder for people to give and how amazing it feels, but I hate that we only talk about it one day a year, and only after we just spent all our money on Black Friday”

Now I’m not here to say if #GivingTuesday is good or bad.

What I am here to share is that there is a unanimous feeling that when you give, you feel really good đź‘Ź

In fact, there are a bunch of proven studies that giving can increase our serotonin, oxytocin, and dopamine, which are all things that make us naturally happier and less stressed.

So yes, it is true. Giving is ACTUALLY good for us.

Check out this one article I found that was easy to read;

Why Giving Is Good For Your Health

We all know giving helps the recipient, but what does it do for the giver? Various studies find that giving has a profound impact on your body and mind.

So why do so many people only get inspired to give on one global day of the year?

If giving is something so powerful
If it makes us feel that good
If it is scientifically proven to make us happier
If it serves so many others and helps those in need..

Then why do we only push it to the world one day a year?

Imagine how great your life would be if you could recreate that feeling EVERY month?

So what I want to challenge you with today…

How do you find something to do every single month that reminds you how powerful giving is! Buy a coffee for a stranger, make a donation, or volunteer somewhere!

Don’t know where to start? Perfect, let me help!

I wrote an article talking about the 5 easiest ways to give TODAY, you can find it here;

So let’s take #GivingTuesday and not make it about just doing your one good deed for the year.

Let’s take it as a reminder about the feeling we get when we give and how we should replicate that more often so we can all be a little happier and a little less stressed!

TLDR:

  1. GivingTuesday serves a purpose, but it might be more than just a one day promo

  2. Doing acts of service are scientifically good for your body

  3. How do we replicate that feeling we get when we give every month!?
