10 Simple Ways to Practice Compassion TODAY – Make a Difference Monday

Last week was the #1000Speak movement where over 1000 bloggers and vloggers posted about compassion, kindness, caring, non-judgment, and self-compassion. I didn’t have a post ready in time, so I spent the day sharing as many posts from these wonderful people as I could via Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest.

I had planned to focus my post on compassion based on how The Free Dictionary defines it: “deep awareness of the suffering of another accompanied by the wish to relieve it.”

While working on another project, I stumbled upon these 10 reliable sites that allow you to do a very small part to relieve suffering somewhere in the world. And I thought it would be perfect to share with everyone for the #1000Speak movement. So, although I’m a little late, I decided to add my voice to this incredible movement by sharing 10 simple and easy ways you can practice compassion that you could do in less than 5 minutes per day! And technically, it is one thing that you can do, just on 10 different websites!

Here is how it works: By simply clicking on a button on the following list of websites, you’ve made a very small contribution towards the fundraising project! It takes just a few seconds of your time and you don’t have to spend any money! This is because the donation comes from advertising sponsors on the site you visit. What makes these sites I reference below reliable is that 100% of the ad revenue is donated to the charitable organization.

To make an even bigger contribution, share this information with your friends via social media. If you can get another friend to click, you’ve just doubled your impact! It’s important for A LOT of people to click because it actually takes several thousand clicks to acquire enough ad revenue to make a reasonable contribution. For example, based on The Breast Cancer Site statistics, it takes about 50,000 clicks to fund 1 mammogram. I know that sounds like a lot, but when you think of the number of users on the internet each day, and how it takes less than 5 seconds to visit the site and click, it definitely is worth doing.

You can click on the button on each of these sites once per day, so bookmark this list and visit the sites daily.
