Have you moved to a new area and wanted an activity to do in your spare time? Wouldn’t it be awesome if you could serve others while you’re exploring the new area?
As a full-time mom, it is a great feeling to fill up your schedule with productive things to do, and even better, it feels great to be able to serve someone when the task doesn’t seem too daunting or that it will take away time from being with our little children.
A Tip That Will Make You Influential In Your Community:
When we moved out of the state for the summer, I went around to visit the parks and places around us. I would be super grateful if someone else had taken the time to take pictures of the park before we visited. I would research the Yelp app to get a heads-up on what to expect.
It was so much fun traveling around the city and visiting new places. I thought it would be helpful if I “passed it forward” and helped others like I had been helped.
I started making my own posts on Yelp! It was a small thing. Going around taking pictures of the places we visited was easy! I was already wanting to explore!
After the trip, I took a small bit of time to add a filter and edit the picture to make it look brighter. I feel like it elevated the photo! If the photo looked good, I knew that it might also influence the way people thought of that place! I did add my honest opinion while reviewing that place… because some places are just not as good as others ;D.
I made lists of indoor activities to do with the children, outside activities, ladies’ night out places, etc.
Having these resources was just another tool in my pocket to help me get to know the area better! I would have never guessed how much joy I would find from doing this.
I hope that you will take this idea and run with it! Or be inspired to come up with an idea to serve your community with an activity you are already doing anyway. I would love to know what other ideas come up with! Have you tried anything like this and found a newfound joy?
