Hey, if you want to do something that will make you feel good about yourself today, donate some of your time, not your money.

Don't get me wrong, giving money to a charity is a wonderful thing to do. But donating some of your time is equally, if not more rewarding!

A new study showed that people who donate money to a charity ended up feeling good for up to a week, but if you volunteer a little of your time instead, that ooey-gooey feeling you get, can boost your mood for 24 days!

Heck you could even be walking on Cloud 9 for up to a month if you're between the ages of 18 and 24.

Bottom line is, donating some of your money or volunteering some of your time is a selfless act of kindness.

Of the 2,000 people that took part in the survey, over 75% said they volunteered or gave money to a charity within the last year. And a large number of people who did, reported being happier with their life in general. It gave them an overall sense of "inner calm."

Plus, think of all the humble-bragging you can do about it on Facebook.

"Humble" being the operative word.
