Let’s GIVE
But Why …….. ?
Giving is a really great way to boost our wellbeing and that of others. Evidence suggests helping/giving to others helps us by building our sense of compassion. This in turn promotes positive changes in the brain which can make happiness even more long lasting!
The great thing is that giving does not have to be financial. We can give someone a compliment, share some positive news with them or just give them a listening ear. Greater still, we can do this acts of ‘giving’ even when we’re in lockdown. This means the virus doesn’t have to beat us on this front!
Being mindful of this, why not do something different today by GIVING….
As life in these unprecedented times has been challenging and more so for people struggling with their mental health, we at Derby City Life Links have been trying to provide substantial support being mindful of the government’s guidelines. As part of this effort , for the Mental Health Awareness Week commencing on the 18th of May we are running online sessions each day till the 22nd of May. Please come and join in the talks, or check back during the week for reflections.
