Stumbled across this by accident a few weeks ago, was walking through the park and stopped to give a hand when I saw someone clearing broken glass up. The gratitude of dog walkers was a real eye opener, and I left with quite a positive vibe/spring in my step. So I experimented with it a couple of days later, same again.
Now I go down there, stroll around listening to the birds and clearing what I may find once a week. I get a nice bit of chill time away from everything, the gratitude is relentless and my productivity greatly increased.
Was wondering if anyone else had weird tricks like this?
To be clear is this not remotely altruistic, entirely for my gain.
I used to volunteer at an animal shelter and felt really good after a shift there, but I don't have the time to do that anymore. It's a shame because I can no longer have pets now that I'm renting, so I'd love to be able to get back into it.
Not had much chance to check them out yet, but there are a few sites where you can register and get paid to look after people's pets in their home while they go on holiday.
