Offer to babysit for tired parents in need of a night off
Even if you don’t have kids of your own, you can at least empathize with those who do—caring for young children can certainly leave one with little to no free time. So, if you notice that a parent in your life seems more exhausted than usual, and could really use some alone time, volunteer your babysitting services.
Not only will it give you a night off from your usual routine, but it could turn that parent’s week completely around and improve their mental health at that moment. Further, this act will communicate to your friend, coworker, or family member that you’re dependable—which can only work to strengthen your existing relationship.
