WHO you HANG with is UBER IMPORTANT.
Do the people you hang with help you to be the BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF?
Element #8 of the my 13 Elements to Flourish is CONNECTION. It made the list because we all desire and seek intimate connections. Bonds that allow us to REVEAL who we really are. To be understood. Known. Appreciated. ACCEPTED.
When I teach this strategy in workshops and keynotes I delve deep into the value of growing ones community. Community is connection.
SO WHO HAVE YOU ALLOWED TO BE A PART OF YOUR COMMUNITY?
What kind of people do you surround yourself with? Do your connections lift your spirit via support, respect, love and accountability? OR do they drain your energy via negativity, selfishness, challenged integrity and disengagement?
TIPS TO GROW YOUR SOUL-CENTRED COMMUNITY.
+ Start connecting with people who share similar interests. Join a book club, running group, cooking class…you get the idea.
+Yes. You are tired. Life is BUSY! Make time to hang with your besties. IN PERSON BONDING will always fill your cup more than a text or phone call.
+Show gratitude for those who INSPIRE you to be the best you. From a coffee date to thank you card…appreciation is community gold.
+Reach out and reconnect. You think about this person often. You tell yourself you want to spend more time with him/her. So DO IT. Because your spirit is telling you that you should. Ignore the message long enough and life will bring it to someone else. That’s how amazing friendships become distant memories.
+Surround yourself with people who INSPIRE and SUPPORT you to be the BEST VERSION OF YOU. That’s the power of community. It’s a beautiful 2-way street.
YOU DESERVE YOUR BEST, MOST FULFILLING COMMUNITY.
