Finding Your People

Once upon a time, we met people differently: we gathered in person (gasp), joined clubs, or met with coworkers, neighbours, and classmates. 

The reality is that everything changed a year ago when COVID-19  began spreading. Finding “our people” has never been harder. Whether you're an introvert or an extrovert (or maybe somewhere in between) one thing is true; connection is important.

There’s been a lot of talk about finding your “your people,” but what does that mean exactly?

When I think of the word community, I think of a group of people who share common goals or beliefs. People who have chosen each other to have each others' backs, and encourage them through the good and bad. 

Remember: If you feel like you haven’t found your people yet, you’re not alone. 

Connections take attention and care. If done right, they grow, they change, and they evolve. Sometimes, they last a defined period of time (like a class or job), but other times, they can last a lifetime. 

So, how do you find your people?

Well, there’s hope. Talk to the people you already know, oftentimes they make the best introduction!

• Set intentions. When you’re ready, put it out in the universe. 

• Be open-minded. Consider that the people you are looking for might be right in front of you.  Look past their exterior and catch a glimpse into their true selves.

• Get clear. Think about what it is you’re actually looking for in a group. Likewise, remember healthy boundaries are important, but sometimes vulnerability brings people together.

• Take action. You won’t find them just by sitting there, so start taking actions to get what you want.
• Surround yourself with like-minded individuals. Classes, clubs, and groups are still a great way to connect. Did we mention we’re launching a Collective in mid-March for women who want to find balance in their life, feel more organized in their space and build a non-judgmental community of support?

When you meet people who light you up, y’know the people you get excited about, be brave and be bold.
