Volunteering in your community, plus Carey Nieuwhof on maximizing effectiveness, and should you reconnect with a high school love interest? Featured musical artist: Hollyn ( https://www.instagram.com/iamhollyn/?hl=en ) Roundtable: Volunteering Where You Live Whether it's helping the homeless, being on a neighborhood committee, tutoring, or something out-of-the-box, the options for serving your community are endless. But how do you pick something and actually make it happen? How do you find a great fit that uses your gifting and passions? Our guests share how they volunteer locally and the process they went through to choose great ways to jump in and make a difference. Culture: Make the Most of Your Time (Part 1) For years, Carey Nieuwhof struggled with workaholism, which eventually led to his burnout. After much prayer and recovery, he started budgeting his time and energy, and has seen incredible results. In part one of our conversation, Carey shares lessons from research and his own journey, discussing how to find the time when you're most productive, why achieving balance in your schedule isn't the best goal, and insights for eliminating ever-present distractions. Inbox: That Crush From High School He asked her out in high school and she rejected him. Since then, he's grown a lot in his faith, and recently started thinking about her again. Should he try to reconnect with her and see if she'd be interested now? Lisa Anderson weighs in.

First Date Follow Up is when we get an email from someone who went on a date and the other person isn't calling back. We get that other person on the phone to see why they're "ghosting".You never know who you're going on a first date with and you never know who you're volunteering with at a foodbank! Mikey met Angle at a foodbank and thinks she isn't calling because of his past! Leave a rating and review wherever you listen. It will help the show out in a big way.

You may have noticed how the spirit of giving changed your mood this holiday season. That is because giving can actually increase your happiness. This week's retirement headline from BigThink.com is titled How Generosity Changes Your Brain, and it discusses recent research on how giving to others promotes happiness. On this episode of Retirement Starts Today, you'll learn how acting on your generosity creates numerous psychological and physiological benefits in your body. If one of your goals for 2022 is to be more generous or even if you simply want to reflect on the acts of gift-giving that you experienced over the holiday season, don't miss the retirement headline segment. Then make sure to stick around until the end of the episode to hear my favorite retirement resources. Outline of This Episode [2:42] How generosity changes your brain [8:02] How you can incorporate giving into your retirement plan [9:47] Dave is looking for quality retirement resources Giving can increase happiness Can spending your money maximize your happiness? We've all been told that money can't buy happiness. However, new research suggests that the opposite is actually true: spending money can bring joy.  Rather than buying things to increase happiness, researchers have found that sharing wealth with others is what creates long-lasting contentment. New research has been able to scientifically measure the ways that giving can improve joy. Giving actually releases neurochemicals like oxytocin and endorphins in your brain that are known to increase happiness. Have you noticed this phenomenon whenever you give to others? Volunteering is sharing the gift of your time In addition to giving money and gifts to others, giving the gift of time increases happiness as well. During the working years, donating time can be a challenge with all the other commitments that people have. This issue disappears in retirement. Volunteering can even improve health. Science shows that generosity can increase longevity. Researchers found that retirees who volunteer were less likely to die over the course of a 5-year study. The results of the study showed that volunteering boosted people's overall well-being. Regular volunteering is even more beneficial to health than giving financially. Do you have plans to make volunteering a regular part of your retirement? How to maximize your happiness through regular giving Making a habit of generosity is a great way to improve your happiness and health in retirement. Whether you choose to give financially or donate your time, the results will benefit you. Now that you know that giving can increase your joy, you can find ways to maximize that happiness. One way to ensure that you are optimizing your giving is by giving consciously rather than setting up an automated gift to charity each month.  If you do automate your giving, looking at your bank statements each month to see how much you spend on yourself and comparing that with your spending on others can also increase your contentment.  Have you thought of giving your time or money in retirement? Volunteering or donating money in retirement can also give you a renewed purpose. Think about ways that you could increase giving in ways that align with your values.

Volunteering onboard our hospital ship often brings unexpected experiences. 

In an ageing society, Kyra is wondering why there are not more senior citizens involved in environmental volunteering. She is sitting down with three representatives from environmental organizations from where she lives on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, Scott Babinowich from the National Park Service, Sara Hallas from the North Carolina Coastal Federation and Taylor McConnell with the Aquarium on Roanoke Island. She also talks to seniors at the senior center and uncovers a few reasons why people would or would not volunteer. Bottom line: everyone can volunteer, no matter their age or how much time they have on their hands - everything is beneficial: to you, society, environmental organizations and most importantly our planet. Thank you for tuning in and supporting the All Swell? Podcast!

Catherine Schofield hosts and reports for this episode from the Believe Plaza in downtown Reno where a new young group of volunteers has started a new regular Tuesday night outreach event. Some of the first people they helped were recently resettled Afghan refugees who have also struggled with the affordable housing crisis.

Following the death of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Bishop David Walker remembers the life and legacy of the Nobel Peace Prize laureate who helped end apartheid in South Africa. Actor and activist Michael Sheen tells William about the transformative encounters that led him to give away a large chunk of his earnings and turn himself into a social enterprise - a not-for-profit actor. Champion baker David Atherton shares his recipe for Florentines and talks candidly about growing up gay in a conservative evangelical Church. He tells William how winning the Great British Bake Off connected him to others struggling to reconcile their sexuality with their strict Christian upbringing. As the Christmas film classic It's A Wonderful Life turns 75, we hear about its religious meaning and how it's taken on the power of a modern-day myth. And we meet the faith groups plugging gaps in local services by providing an army of volunteers - from stewards at vaccination centres to cooks at homeless shelters and shelf-stackers at food banks. Volunteers tell us what motivates them to help their local community. And, with government finances under more pressure than ever, we find out how the relationship between faith groups and the state is changing. Producers: Louise Clarke-Rowbotham and Carmel Lonergan Editor: Helen Grady Christmas Florentines Ingredients • 1 egg white (approx. 40g) • 50g icing sugar • ½ tsp vanilla extract • ½ tsp mixed spice • Zest of an orange • 100g flaked almonds • 30g dried fruit and seeds (your choice) Method 1. Preheat oven 160C. 2. Line a baking tray with a silicone mat, or greaseproof paper (and rub in 1 tsp of vegetable oil). 3. Mix the egg white, icing sugar, vanilla, spice and orange zest until smooth. 4. Mix through the almonds and your dried fruit/seeds. 5. Put a 10cm biscuit cutter onto your tray and add a spoon of the mixture. Press this around and remove the cutter so you're left with a perfect disc. Continue until you've used up your mixture. 6. Bake for 12-14mins until golden brown then allow to cool before lifting gently. 7. You can add melted dark chocolate as a decoration if you wish.

Today, we are going to be talking about seniors and isolation. We'll talk about some common causes of isolation, as well as the risks that come along with social isolation. Then, we'll conclude the episode with ways that you can prevent isolation and include seniors. Now let's move on to the rest of the show.   Socialization is an important aspect of life. It's a part of the third level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, love and belonging. Only safety and ensuring one's physiological needs, such as eating and sleeping, are more important than socialization. Lumen's module, Introduction to Sociology, tells us that socialization is the lifelong process through which people learn the values and norms of a given society. Socialization is not the same as socializing. Socializing is to mix socially with others (for example, family, friends, neighbors, coworkers), whereas socialization is a process that may include socializing as one element, but is a more complex, multi-faceted and formative set of interactive experiences. It is also an adaptive lifelong learning experience, because society is constantly changing, and because we may find ourselves in new situations—such as a new job with different norms and values, or in a different familial role—such as that of a parent or caregiver to an older relative.   Oftentimes, we think of socialization as something children need to learn how to interact in society, but it applies to all age groups, including seniors. Asbury Communities says that social interaction has been a major part of cognitive development from the day you were born. Early relationships and interactions with parents, siblings, friends, and teachers taught you how to speak, interpret and express emotions, and expand your knowledge.   As an adult, socialization is just as important in keeping your brain active. Building social networks and participating in social activities are like exercises for your brain because they keep your mind agile and improve cognitive function.   Socialization can even help prevent mental decline and lower the risk of dementia. A 2017 study published by researchers at the Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer's Disease Center of Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine found that individuals 80 and above with the mental agility of 50-year-olds all had one factor in common: A close-knit group of friends.   Not only does socialization play an important role in cognitive function, but it  also is necessary for maintaining your mental health and keeping you happy. Even just occasional social activity can lower stress levels, decrease depression and anxiety, and improve overall life satisfaction.   Dr. Cole, director of the Social Genomics Core Laboratory at the University of California, Los Angeles, says that loneliness acts as a fertilizer for other diseases. The biology of loneliness can accelerate the buildup of plaque in arteries, help cancer cells grow and spread, and promote inflammation in the brain leading to Alzheimer's disease. Loneliness promotes several different types of wear and tear on the body.   Now that we've talked a little bit about the differences between socialization and socializing, let's move on to some of the common causes of isolation. Specifically, causes of social isolation.   Vista Springs Living says that it's very common for seniors and older adults to avoid socializing, but why? For some, it's because of the decreased mobility they have as they age. When it's hard to drive or get in and out of vehicles, or if you need to use a walker or wheelchair to get around, going out and socializing becomes a demanding and laborious task.   In addition to struggling with mobility, seniors can find themselves having much less energy throughout the day and becoming exhausted quickly—making evening dinners and events tiring rather than invigorating. It also becomes more difficult to navigate unknown environments, so staying at home becomes a preferable option to going out.    For some seniors, there are more than just physical barriers between themselves and socialization. As adults age, it can become more and more challenging to be emotionally available for family and friends. Seniors may be upset at their condition or frustrated in general, and want to avoid interactions and isolate themselves thinking that will be the better option. However, the opposite is often true.   According to Seniors at Home, older adults often experience their social worlds shrinking, as retirement, the death of friends and family, or lack of mobility make participating in social activities more difficult. For those who become socially isolated or who feel persistently lonely, the consequences can be dire and even life-threatening.   Traci Dobronravova, MSW, Director of Seniors At Home, says, “We see older adults every day who are disconnected from their community. Social isolation and the associated health risks for seniors is a critical issue facing our community.”   The covid-19 pandemic has created hardships for many during the past year and has isolated all generations. According to the Cleveland Clinic, experts have worried about the effects of the pandemic on mental health. This is especially a concern for older adults, who've been encouraged to be extra careful because they're at greater risk for getting very sick with or dying from COVID-19 if they get it.   But being homebound and isolated from others can have unhealthy effects. For example, studies show that chronic loneliness can worsen memory in older adults and cause other declines in mental and physical health.   “Many seniors already deal with isolation, and we've seen it worsen during the pandemic,” says geriatric physician Kathleen Rogers, MD.   Now that we have discussed how social isolation, and isolation in general, can be detrimental to seniors, let's move on to the health issues and risks that are associated with isolation.   A report by the Administration for Community Living's Administration on Aging of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says that about 28 percent of older adults in the United States, or 13.8 million people, live alone. An older adult living alone is not automatically isolated, but they have a higher likelihood of being socially isolated than other age groups.   Living alone is the biggest risk factor for older adults when it comes to isolation, but according to St. Paul's Senior Services, other risk factors include the death of one's spouse, children moving away, a change in living environment, the deterioration of a friend network (often due to death), the fear of becoming a burden, the fear of going out and incurring an injury, difficulty communicating (i.e. language barriers and hearing problems), and illnesses (particularly dementia). Each of these factors can lead to increased loneliness in seniors and increased loneliness can, in turn, lead to a number of serious health effects.   Geographical isolation when living alone, or even with a caregiver or spouse, can make it difficult to get to appointments, run necessary errands like picking up prescription medications, and socialize in person. Technology has made it easier for older adults to meet with their doctors. Telehealth appointments, which are appointments where you meet with your doctor virtually, have been around for a few years, but have increased in popularity during the pandemic.   Telehealth appointments help older adults maintain their health but getting prescriptions is still an issue. Some pharmacies offer delivery, but only within a certain area, so seniors living in rural areas do not qualify for delivery. Companies that offer prescription deliveries may deliver to the senior, but they can be quite costly and the price of the delivery in addition to the cost of the prescription may be more than they can afford.   According to the CDC, social isolation significantly increases a person's risk of premature death from all causes, a risk that may rival those of smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity. Social isolation is also associated with an estimated 50% percent increased risk of dementia, and the increase of dementia already increases with age.   Poor social relationships, characterized by social isolation or loneliness, is associated with a 29% increased risk of heart disease and a 32% increased risk of stroke. On top of all these, loneliness is associated with higher rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide. Loneliness among heart failure patients is also associated with a nearly 4 times increased risk of death, 68% increased risk of hospitalization, and 57% increased risk of emergency department visits.   If you are worried about your loved one being lonely or isolated from others, ask them if they are feeling lonely. They may not even realize they are lonely if no one presents the question to them. Your loved one may also be embarrassed to express their feelings of loneliness to you and may not tell you on their own.   If you believe that a senior in your life may be struggling with loneliness, St. Paul's Seniors Services recommends that you look for these signs and symptoms: sadness or feelings of despair, loss of interest in hobbies, socializing, or other daily activities, lack of energy or motivation, sleep disturbances and memory problems, unexplained or aggravated aches and pains, and neglect of personal hygiene and other routines.   Identifying loneliness and isolation is just the first step. Reducing and preventing loneliness and isolation takes time and effort and the amount of socializing someone needs varies from person to person. Luckily, we have gathered a few suggestions on how to prevent isolation for you. But before we jump into ways to prevent isolation, let's talk about a few of the benefits of socializing with friends and loved ones.   According to Psychology Today, an active social life may mean you live longer. People with more social support tend to live longer than those who are more isolated, and this is true even after accounting for the overall level of health of your loved one. Socializing also brings a higher likelihood that you will enjoy better physical health. Social engagement is associated with a stronger immune system, especially for older adults. This means that you are better able to fight off colds, the flu, and even some types of cancer.   Psychology Today also tells us that you will likely enjoy better mental health if you have a healthy social life. Interacting with others boosts feelings of well-being and decreases feelings of depression. Research has shown that one sure way of improving your mood is to work on building social connections. Some studies have even shown that socializing may lower your risk of dementia. More recently, there has been accumulating evidence that socializing is good for your brain health. People who connect with others generally perform better on tests of memory and other cognitive skills. And, in the long run, people with active social lives are less likely to develop dementia than those who are more socially isolated.   According to Home Care Assistance, socialization can increase the quality of life and promote purpose. As we have already talked about today, studies show that loneliness and senior health issues have been correlated and that loneliness is a risk factor of functional decline, and death in older people. Making sure we stay social and connected can not only extend the length of our lives but the quality of them as well.   Spending time with others helps us feel useful and that our life has a greater purpose. When we have something to do, somewhere to go, and someone counting on us, it feels good. Being around people we love makes life more fulfilling. When others count on us, we are more likely to take care of ourselves, and stay healthy for as long as we can. Both of these benefits, an improved quality of life and a purpose in life, create a cycle that encourages socialization. When we are enjoying spending time with people, we feel better, and we want to socialize more. And that cycle continues to repeat.   We've talked about the health issues and risks that come with isolation, as well as the benefits of socialization. Now let's move on to how seniors, and you as their loved one, can prevent isolation.   Vista Springs Living says that there are plenty of ways for you to be social, or to help a loved one stay social as they age. Opportunities for socialization include:   Senior hobby groups (like gardening, bird-watching, cooking, or collecting clubs). Talking to others about what they enjoy and sharing in others' enjoyment is a great way to socialize and can be a great incentive for those that may be shy or would not want to normally participate in conversations.   Volunteering is a great way for older adults to socialize and help out their community. Volunteer groups and organizations can also give a sense of purpose to older adults after retirement if they are beginning to feel lost. Helping others that are less fortunate than they are can also help put things in perspective for seniors, especially if they are helping other isolated individuals, and encourage them to participate in more social activities.   Walking or senior sports groups encourage socialization as well as physical health. Socializing while exercising can help motivate seniors to exercise, which can help improve their overall health and quality of life.   Using social media and technology can help homebound seniors connect to friends and loved ones, as well as supplement in-person visits for seniors that are unable to get out as often as they would like. Businesses and organizations have taken advantage of social media and technology over the pandemic and have started offering virtual classes, both paid and free, that seniors can take to stay involved and keep up with their favorite activities.   Speaking of activities, activity groups (like arts & crafts, movie watching, or book clubs) are another great way to involve your loved one in social activities and keep them engaged in conversation. Just like with hobby groups, activities that your loved one enjoys and can be done with, or around, other people are a great way to prevent isolation.   The last thing that Vista Springs Living suggests to prevent isolation is group health activities (like music therapy or meditation). These less intensive activities can improve your loved one's overall health and are helpful for seniors that need any form of therapy. Water aerobics classes are a great example of this.   When seniors are self-isolating, it's important to keep up efforts to engage them. Find out what their hobbies are and what groups are in your area that they can join. You can find groups and classes at your local senior center or library. Your doctor may also have suggestions or recommendations to prevent isolation. The CDC recommends the following national organizations for more resources:   AARP provides helpful information to seniors to help improve quality of life and provides access to Community Connection Tools.   Area Agencies on Aging, or AAA, has a network of over 620 organizations across America that provides information and assistance with programs including nutrition and meal programs (counseling and home-delivered or group meals), caregiver support, and more. The website can help you find your local AAA, which may provide classes in things such as Tai Chi and diabetes self-management.   Eldercare Locator is a free national service that helps find local resources for seniors such as financial support, caregiving services, and transportation. If you visit their website, you can also check out their brochure that shows how volunteering can help keep you socially connected.   National Council on Aging works with nonprofit organizations, governments, and businesses to provide community programs and services. This is the place to find what senior programs are available to assist with healthy aging and financial security, including the Aging Mastery Program that is shown to increase social connectedness and healthy eating habits.   National Institute on Aging, or NIA, provides materials on social isolation and loneliness for older adults, caregivers, and health care providers. Materials include health information, a print publication, a health care provider flyer, and social media graphics and posts.   So far, we've talked about how you can prevent isolation for your loved one, but let's not forget to prevent isolation and loneliness for caregivers, as well.   Seniors at Home tells us that caring for a parent, spouse, or loved one is an enormous responsibility. Family caregivers often find themselves juggling their caregiving duties with paid work and raising children, leaving them exhausted and without time to enjoy hobbies or social outings. This can create feelings of loneliness and social isolation. Practicing self-care, taking a few minutes for mindfulness, seeking support, and hiring respite home care can all help family caregivers get the rest and the social connection they need.   As a caregiver, it's important that you take care of yourself, as well. Caregiver burnout happens when you don't make yourself a priority. Don't hesitate to reach out for support when you need it. If your friends and family are unable to help either financially or physically, there are several community resources you can use. Talk to someone at your local senior center to find out what support is available in your area. You can also listen to any of the episodes we have done covering caregiver burnout on our YouTube channel, website, or wherever you listen to podcasts.   As we discussed earlier, the Covid-19 pandemic has worsened isolation for many seniors. Dr. Kathleen Rogers, a geriatric physician at Cleveland Clinic says that “Many seniors already deal with isolation, and we've seen it worsen during the pandemic. As a result, we're seeing a lot more patients with anxiety, depression, and worsening memory loss.”   Even before the pandemic, older adults were particularly at risk for loneliness.   Dr. Rogers goes on to explain that “after retirement, people's routines change. Their brain activity and their social interactions are different. This increases the risk of being diagnosed with anxiety and depression or both.”   As we get closer to the holidays, it's important to keep your loved ones in mind this year, especially if they are unable to visit with you in person. Try setting up a zoom or FaceTime call with your loved one during times you would normally gather in person.   If your loved one is homebound or living in a facility, try setting up a rotating visitors list. You may not be able to visit as often as you would like, but others can visit your loved one, too. Setting up a few visits for your loved one can also give them something to look forward to if they are struggling with feelings of loneliness or depression.   There are several things you can do to prevent loneliness and isolation and we cannot fit them all in one episode.

Every year on the 29th of November it is the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian people.  (The day of release of this episode)This was decided in the United Nations in 1977 when the General Assembly adopted resolution 32/40BIt was not a coincidence that they chose this date. It is the dame date of the United Nations Partition Plan, resolution 181, that was adopted exactly 30 years before in 1947. And most of you will be aware that the partition of Palestine by the UN gave the Zionist movement the push they had been waiting for to establish their Jewish homeland in Palestine. And that happened with a lot of force and violence. Most of the Palestinian villages, towns and cities were partially or completely depopulated and destroyed. And until today families from these towns and cities can be found living in refugee camps in the Westbank, Gaza and neighboring countries with the fourth generation being brought up under very difficult circumstances. In the meantime the State of Israel was created in 1948 and then in 1967 this new country took its chance and military occupied the Gazastrip, the Westbank, Sinai and Golan Heights. It started moving its own population into the territory it occupied, mainly in settlements built on Palestinian agricultural land, but in Jerusalem and Hebron also inside the city. For this podcast episode I asked several Palestinian friends to send me an answer to the question: What do you think that people can do in solidarity with the Palestinian people. I also asked my friend Anwaar, who is from Hebron and lives in Shuhada street, the infamous street that is closed off by military checkpoints, to tell us a bit about life in the old city of Hebron. This is the street where the Israeli settlers are protected by the army and the native population is struggling to stay. Here are some links to websites that can help you to get more involved!Www.grassrootsalquds.netwww.handmadepalestine.comhttps://eappi.orghttps://bdsmovement.net

Today we have a special Veterans Day 50th Episode of Combat Story from Vincent Speranza, who was a paratrooper in the storied 101st Airborne Division in World War II. Vince was a machine gunner at the Battle of the Bulge where he and his fellow paratroopers held Bastogne after being encircled by the Germans.

This story later became the basis for Airborne beer, which can be purchased throughout Belgium and is designed to be enjoyed from a small ceramic cup shaped like a WWII helmet. Vince, in the last 10 years, has written a book, aptly titled “Nuts!: A 101st Airborne Division Machine Gunner at Bastogne,” has jumped out of airplanes again, and speaks to soldiers and organizations about his experiences. His story is nothing short of legendary and reminds us all why we refer to his as the “Greatest Generation.” I hope you enjoy this amazing combat story as much as I did.
