Feeling Isolated? Join a community!
Being part of a community can inspire, motivate and encourage a person to grow and feel fulfilled in a way they might not if they were going it alone! Being part of a community can also help keep things in perspective when life gets tough.
Humans are social creatures, and we’re actually more likely to struggle if we don’t connect with other people on a regular basis. Also, while the online communities that are becoming more and more central to our lives can go a long way in helping us to feel connected, there’s something to be said for being part of a ‘physical’ community too.
Joining a community.
Social stuff doesn’t come naturally to everyone! If the idea of trying to join a group scares the hell out of you, here are a few tips:
1. Identify a type of community you’d like to be part of
2. ‘Sign on’ to be part of that community
3. Actively participate in that community
Remember: Everyone feels awkward some of the time! Reaching out to other people might be scary at first, but it gets easier the more you do it, promise!
If you’re reading this, you’re already part of the 247girl community! Make it official by joining us here or on Facebook.
