I gave myself 1 year before starting to commit to volunteering. So, that's my suggestion.....do what feels right for a year (travel, sleep late, pj's all day, read a book, etc.)......then start figuring out what feels good to do and what you'd like to commit to. But, first year, when folks ask for your help, just tell them you are taking a year off from all commitments before deciding. Then, after the year is up...you can decide!
