Celebrating Make a Difference Day is limited only by your imagination, and your willingness to contribute your time and efforts to change the world. October 23rd is Make a Difference Day and it is simple, it’s all about making a difference for someone or the world.
The day was originally created in 1992 by USA Weekend magazine. Make a Difference Day has seen a great deal of support from various organisations throughout the years.
How can you make a difference? Well, here are some ways you can help:
1. Getting involved in your community is a great way to make a difference. Helping out at food banks, shelters even the smallest thing of meeting people and expanding that feeling and sense of community and having people looking out for each other.
2. Send a message to someone who you appreciate and inspires you.
3. Check in on your friends/family regularly. You never know when someone is having a rough time.
4. Perhaps spend free time volunteering or raising awareness on causes you are passionate about.
5. Help your friends with their goals when you have the chance.
6. Use local groups on social media, such as Facebook, where you can gift items you don’t need anymore to others that need it. This helps someone in need and reduces waste.
7. Smile/say hello to strangers or people at the bus stop etc! Break the cycle of keeping to yourself even if you get no response.
8. Being persistent with “how are you?”, “you okay?”, “are you sure?”
9. Reach out to people you can see are in need; even a polite comment or gesture can be the difference between a good day or a bad day.
10. Donate to a cause you like, say positive affirmations to yourself!
