1. Do community service
One of the best ways to celebrate your birthday is to devote yourself to do some good deed. A birthday is a celebration of the life that you have lived till now. So why not spend some time in cleaning a park, gathering clothes or food for charitable purposes, helping at a local library or police service? Just think about it. Won't you feel good after you've done work like this? If you like spending time with children, you can also volunteer for teaching orphans or children with learning disabilities.
2. Visit an orphanage
This is another task that you will love to do on your birthday. You won't just make all the children happy over there, but you will feel a sense of contentment. Kids bring life wherever they go and you can bask in their sunshine while you're at an orphanage, playing with them and watching their innocent smiles. Surely, there's no better way to spend your birthday in a meaningful way than this one.
3. Pay a tribute to your mother
You might ask that if it's your birthday, then why should you pay a tribute to your mother? Well, that's because she's the one who brought you in this world. Thus, she's the reason you're celebrating your birthday every year. So do something special for her on this day; cook dinner for her or take her out to a nice restaurant.
4. Spend some time with yourself
This simply means that you should take some special time out for yourself on your birthday. Reflect upon life, think about your past, the mistakes you've made, the happiness that you had and sit in a quiet place. Go to the beach, or the local park or just sit on the front porch of your house for a while and think what you need to do ahead in life and whether you are happy with your life. This time spent in reflection will surely help you and make you feel good about yourself.
5. Go to the church
Spend some time in the church on your birthday. Take in the peace and tranquility that emanates from there.
