1 Understand Why

Understanding the importance of the task you're hesitant about can be a powerful motivator. Take a moment to ask the organizer or lead volunteer about the impact this task will have. Knowing how your actions will contribute to the bigger picture can transform your perspective and give you a sense of purpose. Remember, every role in a volunteer effort is a piece of a larger puzzle, and your willingness to step up can be crucial to the project's success.

Honesty works magic especially when you make it compelling by sharing with the volunteer the urgency of the task. You have to ensure to clearly explain the details of the task, when the task is needed, and why it's so urgent to you and the volunteer group. Don't forget to use the magic words- please and thank you.

The reality is most of the time we assume we already know the reasons. It's better to initiate a dialogue with the volunteer to understand the deep reasons and do the necessary adjustments.

2 Acknowledge Fears

It's perfectly normal to feel anxious about a sudden responsibility. Acknowledge your fears and concerns by discussing them with the volunteer coordinator or a fellow volunteer. Often, voicing your hesitations can help to demystify them, and you may find that others share similar feelings or have insights to help you overcome them. This process can foster a supportive environment and reassure you that it's okay to be apprehensive.

When people are anxious they under perform, so there should be some form of motivation to boost their esteem and alleviate their fears and make them confident enough to stand and perform optimally.

3 Focus on Skills

You have a unique set of skills and experiences that you bring to your volunteer work. Reflect on these strengths and consider how they can be applied to the new task at hand. Even if the task seems unrelated, your problem-solving abilities, communication skills, or teamwork experience can be invaluable. Focusing on your capabilities can boost your confidence and motivate you to embrace the challenge.

Our skills are one of our most valuable assets as team members or volunteers. They are like a podium on which you stand under a spotlight and every other person watches you from below. I think laying emphasis on skills boosts self confidence and increases the willingness to give in your best.

4 Seek Support

Don't hesitate to seek support from other volunteers or leaders within the organization. A strong support system can provide guidance, share their own experiences, and offer practical help with the task. Knowing that you're not alone and that there are resources available to assist you can alleviate much of the stress associated with stepping into a new role or task unexpectedly.

5 Envision Success

Visualize the successful completion of the task and the positive outcomes that will follow. Imagine the sense of accomplishment you'll feel and the difference you'll make. This mental rehearsal can be incredibly motivating, turning apprehension into excitement. Envisioning success helps in building the mental resilience and determination needed to tackle challenges head-on.

6 Reflect on Impact

Lastly, take a moment to reflect on the impact your contribution will have. Whether it's helping an individual, supporting a community, or contributing to a larger cause, your efforts matter. This reflection can serve as a powerful reminder of why you chose to volunteer in the first place and can reignite your passion and commitment to the task at hand.
