How to foster relationships in second wave of pandemic:
- Join a class that helps you feel connected to others in a deeper way- meditation groups, mindfulness NW, talk about an issue, a passion, a hobby
- Try a team or a walking club or a meetup- strettttch yourself
- Text threads with your friends, reach out first, send something fun, share some feels.
- Send a Marco Polo video message to someone you love
- Follow inspiring people on Instagram. My favorites: Jason Mraz, Beatboxers, Amazing dance
- Take online courses on platforms like commune, insight timer, calm app. They have built in community features that help you connect with people who are interested in similar topics
- Be present as you are out in the world, notice even tiny opportunities to connect with others, to say hello, to have heart connections with strangers in passing.
- Make an appointment for connecting with another: massage, acupuncture, therapy, haircut… who are the people in your neighborhood 🎶
- Brainstorm a list of all of the ways you can build community or expand your sense of connection with those already around you.
- Dance Church! Dance and get freaky with a bunch of fun people online!
