4. Volunteer
One of the best ways to get outside of ourselves is to give of ourselves to others. If you have a fairly reliable schedule, take some time to pray about organized volunteer opportunities that God may be calling you to. But remember, these opportunities don’t always look like working in a soup kitchen or crisis pregnancy center. Maybe you are called to provide some free babysitting for that family at your parish or help your elderly neighbor with grocery shopping or yard work. Many people shy away from Volunteer work because their schedule is too erratic. If you pray, God will show you many opportunities you will have to make a difference.
