Invest in Yourself: Give!
![Knowledge](/sites/all/themes/yt_city/images/postIcon_u-of-you.png)
Do you want to feel happy, full of joy, satisfied? It’s quite simple—GIVE!
There’s nothing more uplifting than Giving, providing support to others. This may sound odd. I mean, who doesn’t like to receive: a compliment, a gift, money, help, etc. Yet studies have proven that giving has multiple health benefits.
If you’re feeling down, or depressed, don’t take a pill to feel better. Find someone who needs help, and help them. It’s like getting a drug-free high. The act of Giving has been known to release a hormone known as oxytocin. This hormone induces a feeling of euphoria and warmth. Not only that, but Giving is a great way to connect with others.
If you want to improve your health, reduce the possibility of heart disease, chronic pain, and lower your blood pressure, Give someone a helping hand; your time and energy.
Genetically, we’re wired to help others; it’s in our DNA—that’s why we feel so good when we put ourselves out; make ourselves available to others. Like yawning, giving is contagious. Imagine the chain reaction you could create with the simple act of Giving!

So true, giving lifts the spirits of the receiver and the giver. A bona fide win-win.
