Catching up on INTENT 365 weekly round-ups of #wellbeing tips (Week 22): "Waste & Wellbeing: How to Sustain a Good Life"

http://ow.ly/xypp50GqLE6

Wellbeing comes not from gaining stuff but from sustaining life. Here are 6 ways to do that by reducing our waste.

#Wellbeing tip 210: Tally total unpaid labor. If y

#Wellbeing tip 210: Tally total unpaid labor. If you add up all the hours you put into child & elder care, domestic & relationship & community work...how many hours a week would you be working? 40 hours? More? If caring isn't a full time job, I don't know what is! Just pay in ❤️

#Wellbeing tip 209: Applaud community care. Commun

#Wellbeing tip 209: Applaud community care. Communities don't function well if volunteers don't serve on committees, support PTAs, maintain trails, and help during emergencies. Who cares? And why don't we value it as much as paid jobs? This is the definition of essential work.

#Wellbeing tip 208: Embrace elder care. Kids are n

#Wellbeing tip 208: Embrace elder care. Kids are not the only ones in our communities who need care. What about our elders? They've given to others all their lives - isn't it time they got a little back? Rather than a burden, embrace it as meaningful work & value it accordingly.

#Wellbeing tip 207: Respect relationship work. Mos

#Wellbeing tip 207: Respect relationship work. Most wellbeing measures rank relationships in the top 5 indicators for wellbeing. And good relationships take work! So if you wrangle the social calendar, check on sick friends, get gifts, etc, how many hours would you get paid for?

#Wellbeing tip 206: Recognize child-raising. It ta

#Wellbeing tip 206: Recognize child-raising. It takes tremendous time and energy to raise a child--more if you're an over-achiever or have multiple kids! So why do we expect both parents to work full-time while doing THE MOST vital job of raising a family? No more double shifts!

#Wellbeing tip 205: Honor the Domestic God(dess).

#Wellbeing tip 205: Honor the Domestic God(dess). Have you ever thought about all the things you do regularly around the house? Write it down, then compare lists with those you live with. Warning: there may be surprises & arguments, maybe changes, & hopefully more appreciation 🙏

#Wellbeing tip 204: Leave a legacy. Crazy idea: ma

#Wellbeing tip 204: Leave a legacy. Crazy idea: make a lasting investment in your values by naming a charity as a beneficiary in your will. Many NGOs have an endowment set up for this & can guide you thru the simple process. You can even designate your donation for certain uses.

#Wellbeing tip 203: Consider impact investing. If

#Wellbeing tip 203: Consider impact investing. If you invest in stocks / mutual funds, you may know about divesting from companies connected to guns, tobacco, or fossil fuels. So now, why not invest in those that increase social good? Your ROI may be less 💲 but bigger on impact.

#Wellbeing tip 202: Be an effective altruist. The

#Wellbeing tip 202: Be an effective altruist. The EA movement aims to create the greatest impact with limited resources: live modestly, research most effective charities, choose big-money careers & donate a large chunk of income. I'm not convinced re: career, but good points 😉.

#Wellbeing tip 201: Switch on workplace giving. Di

#Wellbeing tip 201: Switch on workplace giving. Did you know many employers have an option for charitable giving via payroll deductions? It's brilliant: just choose a charity & switch it on! You never see the 💲so you won't miss it. Some employers match your amount! If not, ask.

#Wellbeing tip 200: Schedule automatic donations.

#Wellbeing tip 200: Schedule automatic donations. Positive defaults ensure we stick to our good intentions - just set it & forget it! For charitable giving, you can schedule reoccurring donations. I prefer monthly so donations don't compete with year-end expenses. Start small!
