An Easy, Fun Way to Do Service

The desire to help others is a natural feeling because humans know that their well-being is dependent upon the health and strength of their “tribe.”  You can provide help by maintaining a hopeful, positive attitude towards yourself, your community, your country, and the planet.

Bottom line: love is the healer.

You and I are not separate beings, we are part of a whole. As part of that whole, our consciousness helps to define the nature of the whole. Although there are over 5 billion of us now (plus all other living things on the planet), and every single living being contributes to the makeup of the consciousness of the whole, each little bit is important.

Because of our interconnectedness, you can do service to the entire world by replacing fear with hope and faith, resentment with gratitude, self-pity with compassion, and judgement with acceptance. If enough people do this, the consciousness of the planet will reach a tipping point and move towards a harmonious state of being.

If we can see the goodness in others — and ourselves — and acknowledge and encourage that goodness to grow, we can all flourish. What a wonderful way to help others!

Here are some suggestions for adding to the love quotient on the planet.

  • Everyday, take a few moments, perhaps before you get into bed, to think about five things for which you are grateful.
  • If you are holding a grudge or resentment towards someone, imagine the person surrounded by a gentle, pink light, and repeat silently or aloud, “I forgive you.”
  • At least 10 times a day, tell yourself that you are doing a good job and deserve all the joy that life has to offer.
  • Whenever you are with someone, say something complimentary. It can be something as simple as, “You’re looking well today.”
  • If you hear yourself judging yourself or others, stop yourself and say, “I am grateful for the gift of every moment.”
  • If something is bothering you, rather than holding it all inside, find someone who you trust with whom you can share your concerns. Do this with the intention of finding a solution rather than just bemoaning your situation.
  • Look in the mirror, look into your eyes and say, “(Your Name), I unconditionally love and accept you, just the way you are.”

    Here’s one, replace a negative thought with a positive one. It’s not possible to be both angry and happy at the same time. Choose happy! :)

    Joan,

    Those are some great ideas. One needs to be consciously conscious of our energy during the day and how there is a two way street. Our energy is affecting everyone we meet and the other person’s energy is affecting us.
    I have found it many times to truly Bless the person I am about to soon interact with and find this puts me in the best possible energy field.
    Thanks for the post.

    Be among green living things. Trees, for preference. Look up through the branches. Enjoy the texture of the trunks. Allow yourself to receive the wonder of seeing fruits or seed holders forming as the seasons progress.

    Look at the changing sky – and let it be, without any need to comment or make up stories about cloud forms or gloomy predictions about the weather. As it is is how it is – and that’s perfect for the moment. (Besides, there’s nothing you can do or need to do about the ways of the sky and clouds.)

    Allow peace and contentment to form within. Even if the day’s social interactions have been painful – the trees are still beautiful and the sky is still a joy. Allow yourself to relax into that calm.

    Encourage someone. Sometimes we say “Do you really think you can do this?” just because we envy the other person who has gotten off his butt and is doing something, instead of just joining the Moan-And-Wail-Club.

    Of course, if somebody plans something really irrational, like investing all his money in petrol plantations in the Sahara or doing an Ironman triathlon with a pacemaker, gently try to dissuade… But, if for example a 50+ woman decides to diet and exercise to get her figure back, and you say: “It is impossible to loose weight if you’re on hormonal replacement therapy, and you have had three kids, and we all get older, what are you thinking?” then neither you nor the person with the goals will profit from this.
