Does Size Really Matter? Small Things You Can Do to Make a Bigger Impact on the World

I speak to many women who are just totally frustrated with their jobs, the community in which they live and the state of the world in general. Feel like I just want to get on a horse and become the next Joan of Arc or Angelina Jolie in order to achieve the changes they want to see. But just thinking about what you can do all by yourself just seems scary. Then flooded with kicks and that's where their good intentions stop. After all, what one person can fulfill think? I say a bunch! But not in a way that you think you need! Yes, it would be nice to have Joan of Arc strength and wallet Angelina Jolie, but it's not really what is necessary.

There are TONS of small things you can do to make a greater impact on the world. Size does matter here! So, let's look at two areas, and some possible small steps, you can:

Maintaining your environment (my favorite area!)

Ditch plastic and BYO shopping bags again. Envirosax bags I use. They are very durable, folded in the small bag I can carry it in my purse all the time, and can only be thrown in the wash.
Stop buying bottled water. Get one again like Sigg, and filled with their filtered water (Brita water filters are great).
Give up takeout food! Make your own (preferably locally produced products) and work with them in glass containers. (This also saves you a ton of moola and is much better for your health!)
Switch to natural skin care solutions, such as coconut or olive oil for your night moisturizer. Those store-bought jars full of chemicals are crap. Give your skin a loving nature instead.
When walking in nature, pick up some trash. I know - this may be gross, and then just use a tissue (recycled one that is ...). Send a signal to others that litter is not acceptable.
Use only natural cleaning products like vinegar, baking soda, lemon juice and essential oils. Store-bought construction, the threat to our ecosystem as well as your health. You may have to scrub a little more - but it's better for you than in the gym.

Manipulation of the local community

The easiest thing you can do is buy from local merchants. Be it food, clothing, second hand books or home items. Imports may be cheaper, but for me, I prefer local gal have the money went into his pocket and I know that I did not buy the serial line.
Participate in local environmental cleanup efforts, such as parks and lakes. These initiatives often need the support of labor, rather than monetary contributions. Bonus is connecting with people who are on the same page as you!
Volunteer in a shelter or drop off food at a time. Again, for free (wo) manpower is the key here. Plus, make your heart jump with joy when you cuddle with those lovable animals.
Do you have unique talents and skills (social media techie, hyper-organized, a great event planner, you really bent)? Offer them free of charge for local non-profit. These are required. J
Clean out your closets. Most of us do not carry more than 25% of what we own. And there is someone who could really use your hand-me-downs (or these Articles with tag still on them). Bag 'em up and call the Purple Heart or the Big Brothers / Big Sisters. All you have to do is to leave them at your door step. (This treatment also works wonders for the soul - you'll feel pounds lighter.)

An important part to remember is that size does not matter because you will serve as a model for others. People like to follow role models and your behavior will rub off on them. Then in no time you that you have created a mini-tribe that is setting the path for others. So, do not hesitate to those small steps! Can really be a greater impact on the world, my friend!
