Volunteering: How to Lose the Excuses and Get Started

(
http://gimundo.com/news/article/volunteering-how-to-lose-the-excuses-and-get-started/
)

Does making new friends, boosting your
self-confidence, connecting with your community, and getting in
good with the universe entice you? If so, you need to start
volunteering. We all have a million excuses not to volunteer,
from diapering our French bulldogs to refurbishing our patio
furniture. But the truth is, the social and personal benefits of
volunteering are unparalleled.

Unfortunately, the trickiest part is to find the motivation to
get our sweatpants-clad booties off the sofa and into our
communities. Most of us offer the same kinds of excuses for not
helping others. However, if we stop and think about our reasons
for not taking action, it becomes clear that we absolutely can
and should volunteer. The next time we find ourselves falling
into these six negative mindsets, we should repurpose them as
motivational tools instead.
