This year, I committed to reaching out more and building community. We don’t have biological family here in Texas, so our friends are our community.
In coaching, we talk about Happiness coming from within. While that is true, lack of social connections is counter-productive to Happiness as well.
If you rated your Overall Happiness on a 1 to 10, what number would you give it? As you were thinking of that number, what justifications instantly ran through you head?!?! Happiness at Work, with Significant other, with Family, with Friends, with Yourself, your Body, Finances?
Some of these situations just require a calm acceptance, others a change….and the wisdom to know the difference 🙂
Community and Connection is one area where we can make a change. Volunteer your time. Whether it be at a church, a school, scouts, food pantry, anywhere! Many of my friends now are from the kids PTA group! Be generous with your time, your home, offer what you have. I started hosting a monthly craft get together and invite most of the local moms, all are welcome. I love this fun bonding time!
A friend sent me a meme that I thought was great. It said to have 3 hobbies: One that keeps you fit, one that makes you money, and one that feeds your creativity! I might add a fourth – one where you volunteer your time/resource. All of these feed connections and the soul!
Where can you connect?
Love & Light,
Kat
