Ways We Create Meaningful Connections 🤗 #NovemberWellnessChallenge

Workshop Recap with @immelodyjoy

When we ask the question “what does a meaningful relationship mean to you?” what comes up? Do you think about a twin flame, a soulmate, experiencing a validating conversation with a stranger on a plane? All humans need love and connection the kind where we feel belonging and heard.

If you missed this workshop, here’s are some ideas we discussed:

  • Author Lisa Nichol’s categories of the 3 types of relationships: Life-Giving, Purposeful, Lifetime
  • Defining ‘meaningful connection’: Radical acceptance, trust, vulnerability, presence, common bond, shared experience
  • Initiate frequent check in with people
  • Be thoughtful and personalized in how you demonstrate your care
  • Be proactive knowing your needs and in communicating to others what you need in order to feel loved or happy
  • In order to do that we should work on becoming self-aware of what rules and expectations we are operating by. Is there anything you are expecting that is outside of your control?

Before you go, here is an idea to consider: What if every interaction and connection was like a sunset, to be enjoy and cherished? Sunsets are special while they last and once they fade away we don’t need to stay attached to them and instead get to keep the memory of them forever.

🤔 Wait, is it too late ⏰ to join the #NovemberWellnessChallenge?

Nope! We’ve designed it so that you can hop in at ANY point of the month.

Every week, we’re focusing on a different aspect of holistic wellness and will have free events to support these topics!

You will also receive 2 graphics per week.

A list of ideas ✅ of what you can do this week to get closer with that particular part of holistic health.

  • There’s an idea per day BUT you definitely don’t need to do each thing on the given listed day and you can make up your own.
  • SKIPPING A DAY is totally welcomed. :’) Just put “skip 😴” because there’s no shame in it.

A calendar for that week that you can fill out using Instagram Stories by uploading the photo and typing over it~!
