How to Be Happier through Community.
In a world of digital connectivity, online shopping and virtual shoppers and trainers, the human connection suffers a bit. While we increase our social media engagement and our addiction to the likes and the comments, we are missing the biggest component of humanity: the human to human IRL that is the heart of happiness and fulfillment.
This week I am sharing 3 ways to increase your happiness through community:
1. Replace the phone with a real life human: When you are out with friends and or other humans, put down the phone. There is a real life human in front of you and being present at this moment or series of minutes is incredibly valuable to both of you. Community can be just two people having a sip of tea or chatting over a latte.
2. Spend a few moments every day with other humans: Every day take a step out and stroll the neighborhood with your dog, chat it up with a local market associate, or strike up a conversation with a familiar face. It has been proven that when humans mix up their routines and become a part of another persons' interaction happiness levels increase.
3. Attend a local gathering: Whether it's attending a FemCity meet up, or volunteering at your local church or charity, commit to signing up to be a part of a community that is larger than yourself. This has also been proven to elevate joy and good vibes for those who take part in face to face group interactions.
We love creating communities for women that are filled with gratitude and positivity and we are on a mission to unite over 1 million women around the world through community. This month we are focusing on creating more community by giving gifts out to those members who invite friends to a local FemCity gathering in November. To learn more, visit this page.
