Finding What You Need Is Easy When You Know Where To Look!
I've come to understand and experienced over the years that
a community can be a great social safety net.
A great place to land when you're feeling sad, lonely, lost.
I've learnt that we thrive when we have lots of people to fill up all our emotional needs, and this requires more than just making friends.
To be part of a community, you must feel a sense of belonging , feel like you make a difference to the group and that the group makes a difference to you.
A community is not just a collection of people who have similar interests, or shared experiences with each other, they exist in the same place within a mixed group where everyone fits in.
In my view and from listening to my clients over the last 5 years. Both young and old...one of the easiest ways to find a great group that you truly
mesh with is to figure out where you wouldn’t mind spending a few hours of your time!
For me this looks like this:
My Cricket Team
An Annual Yoga Retreat
My Local Tennis Clubs
Various Dog Walking Routes
Small Running Groups
School Mum Socials
Book Club (!)
Other Options Could include:
PTA (I'm not organised enough!)
Ladies Football (not co-ordinated enough!)
Racket Ball (too scared!)
Choir (can't hold a tune!)
Roller Skating (would love to but dare not!)
(...and Im sure plenty more I don't yet know about!)
The point is: plenty of groups exist we have just have to find:
where we fit in
what we are looking to achieve
what we are looking to receive
I would love to hear your thoughts on fitting in....
