The 29-Day Giving Challenge
I recently found a new Healthy Discovery, it is called the 29-Day Giving Challenge.
The 29-Day Giving Challenge is a unique way to stimulate volunteering and/or giving in your own life.
The Premise: Give one thing away each day for 29 days.
Cami Walker created the 29-Day Giving Challenge. She says, “I was in a very dark period in my life dealing with a chronic illness (Multiple Sclerosis) as well as a major move. One of my mentors suggested that I give away 29 things in 29 days in an effort to get outside my own struggle for a few seconds each day.”
Click here to watch Cami talk about:
- How it works
- How you can give (including something you think you can’t live without)
- The rules
- What happens if you miss a day
- If your gifts need to be valuable
- Giving cash
- Why 29 days is important
- Examples of things she’s given
- What she has received since she started giving
I end all my Wellness Wheel Classes with this quote“Today I will do someone a good turn, if I am found out it will not count.” I think volunteering your time, money and/or talent is one of the many important components for good health and balance.
In the past I have mentored young girls in a detention home, I’ve volunteered to rock premature babies in the NICU, and provide support for cancer patients. However, I haven’t volunteered my time recently, nor have I consciously thought about giving something every single day. I like this idea and I have added The 29-Day Giving Challenge to on-going list of Healthy Discoveries.
