10 Unique Ways to Serve Others
I’ll be honest, Monday mornings are not my favorite. Knowing that five whole days stand between me and my weekend is rough. However, wanting to change my attitude about Monday mornings, I’ve decided I need to start my week off with a little service. After-all, I find that I’m happiest when I’m serving others and forgetting about myself. Could there be a better way to start my week? Giving kindness to others has never been easier with these 10 Unique Ways to Serve Others.
I received samples and compensation in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own.
10 Unique Ways to Serve Others
1. Mail a letter to a family member or friend.
2.聽Leave a kind note in your child’s lunchbox, on the bathroom mirror, on the garage door, etc.
3. Offer words of encouragement to a young mother. Trust me, just a simple “you’re doing a great job” goes a LONG way!
4. Leave a treat and thank you note on top of your garbage can for the garbage man.
5. Take breakfast to your teacher/boss.
6. Double what you are cooking for dinner and take the extra to a friend.
7.聽Doorbell ditch your neighbor and leave a treat on their doorstep.
8. Send a care package to a family member.
9.聽Bring your neighbor’s garbage can in.
10. Bring your spouse/child their favorite breakfast in bed.
Kicking my week off with a little service, I decided to bring my husband some breakfast in bed. Even though this was a simple act of kindness, it changed my outlook on my entire Monday morning. Not only did breakfast in bed let my husband know how much I appreciate his hard work, but he happily served me and let me go for a run ALL BY MYSELF (didn’t have to haul kiddos in the stroller)! Serving others is contagious and makes the world such a better place.
Now it’s your turn to #ShineItForward and make #MondaysForGood. Jimmy Dean believes that good mornings lead to great days. Starting your day off right with a Jimmy Dean’s breakfast sandwich not only helps you feel good, but further persuades you to “do” good throughout the rest of your day. Starting today, November 2, Jimmy Dean is encouraging others to make the most out of their Monday mornings by serving others.
What kind acts are you going to perform? Tag @JimmyDean and #MondaysForGood and share what good you are doing Monday mornings. Also, head on over to Jimmy Dean and sign a petition to make #MondaysForGood a national holiday. After-all, small acts of kindness truly make this world a better place.
I was just talking about this yesterday with some friends. Especially as the holidays approach thinking about giving back is really important.
My neighbors are such major a*holes that if they left food at my door I would assume it was poisoned! LOL
I love all these great ideas. Sending cookies is at the top of my list. It is always neat to receive such a personal gift and to know someone was thinking of me. Thanks for sharing your list.
I love the idea behind this. I’ll have to definitely have to try some of these.
What a great idea! My mom has always had a heart to serve others!
These are great ways to give back! With the holidays here it’s a perfect time to do something for others
These are the sweetest ideas. I rang a doorbell and gave my friend a trick or treat basket for halloween and I love an old school handwritten note!
I love the idea of sending a letter to family and friends. With email and text messaging, the hand written letter really has become a dying art. I am glad to see it is making a comeback.
So many great ideas! I am always looking for new ways my family can serve others.
How awesome for Jimmy Dean to kickstart such an awesome initiative. I would love to start doing this with my little guys.
The only time I seem to make dinners for others is after the birth of a baby, but it’s such a lovely idea. Doubling something you’re already cooking is a great idea.
I think it would be fun to doorbell ditch and leave a treat. I can think of a couple of people I’d like to do that to. 馃檪
I love all of these ideas. There are so many things you can do to make a difference in the lives of others.
These ideas are all easy ways to totally brighten someone’s day. I think I will leave a small surprise treat for my neighbor this weekend.
I love that you’re going to do one of them. I think this is great.
I love giving back and doing for others. I haven’t mailed a handwritten letter in a while. I think I’ll do that this week! Great suggestions!
I like to buy the person behind me their coffee. I always try to pay it forward. You never know when you might change someones day.
These are great ways to brighten up someones day. I have never thought to leave a treat and a thank you note for the garbage man. I like to leave nice notes for my kids.
I love all of these. It does not take much to do something nice.
These are great ideas. I needed this reminder too. I love the message of #MondaysforGood.
All of those are great ideas. On Monday of this week I delivered a meal to a friend that broke her knee. Other weeks… not just Mondays, I try to volunteer for the school or a local thrift store.
These are all such great ideas. It’s so important to help others and be kind!
Someone can leave me a yummy treat on my doorstep anytime 馃槈 Love all of your ideas!
I think these are all great ideas. The world is a better place when we do better in it.
