Daily Mindfulness Check-In August 10, 2022
Hello everybody, how are you doing today? 😊
Life can become so busy that the only thought we have is about how to get through the day and forget all about meeting up with friends or even calling them. For some people it is the opposite though, the day seems endless without any ways to connect to others. Both situations can become stressful. Having balance in life is one of the keys for a content life.
What ways are you making time to be social?

Hmmm- socializing EEEEEK😳
I feel I do enough being social with my job and my work with the Colorado Pet Pantry as well as the Colorado Food Banks and my community. Sometimes I am so social out that I do not want to do anything "social fun" if that makes sense.
@RumpleSteeleSkin
Seems you have enough socialising activities already in your life and might look more forward to just- me-time.
@RumpleSteeleSkin Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.
I really enjoyed reading them.
@amiablePeace77
What ways are you making time to be social?.....While I don't necessarily consider myself to be a social person (and I am currently on a personal break)...., I am however a ZUMBA & Fitness Instructor of the past 11 years.... So that in itself relies on me having to be very social with many throughout the course of a week.~ Zumba Fitness has opened the doors to me meeting MANY people throughout my time doing it. Which opened the doors for me to get licensed and certified with other formats, of course opening doors to even more socializations.
@PoliteOcean
Nice to see you in the forum PoliteOcean! Great that Zumba has helped you so much in your job but also with socializing.
@amiablePeace77
Thank you so much Ami :)
@PoliteOcean Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I really enjoyed reading them.
@Happy900
Thank you Happy for the lovely reply!
I'm feeling good today! Thanks for asking :) Lots of remote/virtual social connections in my life these days...
I connected with several Spanish/English exchange people and started some new ones in Mexico and Colombia too!
I found a few new sites for connecting to people, TheMixxer for language exchange and LRNGO.com to teach and learn new things for free :) I sent 4 messages on each and am waiting for responses.
I'm also continuing with dating apps in my new state, and am enjoying meeting new men here in Arizona by video too. Even though I'm not going out of the house much during my recovery, it's still fun to meet new people in my new city.
@onwardforevenmore
This sounds exiting! Sending you best wishes for your recovery.
@onwardforevenmore Glad to hear this.
Thanks for sharing.
I really enjoyed reading your thoughts.

Hi:
I am extremely extroverted though I am a loner but I have gotten caught not reaching out to people who I have spent time with.
Some of the ways
1. I am learning to reach out and invite people to things
2. I am going to attend a dinner social tomorrow
@Summershy
Nice that you learn to approach people more. Hope you have a great dinner tonight!
@Summershy Glad to hear this.
I really enjoyed reading this.
Thanks for sharing.
I love my ME time and my counseling time here and off 7cups. But enjoy my quality social time too which is invigorating and uplifting.
The key sure is striking a balance which is very possible if one does it mindfully.
@RideaRainbow
Glad to hear that you have both in your life, me-time but also social time!
@RideaRainbow Glad to hear this.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, with us.
To add, I am a very passionate cook so having select people over for a meal is a high point for me. Sometimes we play board games or keep singing sessions which adds charm to the togetherness and so nostalgically takes us back to our childhood which is so comforting and endearing....
@RideaRainbow
Sounds like great fun!
@RideaRainbow Glad to hear this as well.
Thanks for sharing.
I really enjoyed reading this.
Thanks so much 🌹
@amiablePeace77 What ways are you making time to be social?
Discussions at 7cups are a great way to socialize and I do not have to wear a mask or go anywhere. Here are the ones I go to. https://www.7cups.com/forum/50OverCommunity_193/TeamToolsandTeamUpdates_1705/50plusDiscussionsScheduleandTopics_207920/
@soulsings
True soul, it's lovely to meet people here in discussions but also open chats to me. It's another way to socialize and a great opportunity for people who can't get out of the house too.
@soulsings I agree 200%.
Thanks for sharing this.
Loved reading this.
Though I don't have any friends in real life, and being a Gen Z my whole social circle is virtual. I love meeting new people through the Bottled app.
@ThoughtBubbleExpess Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.

@amiablePeace77

Just coming here is good enough for me.
@DelicateButterfly78 Glad to hear.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

@amiablePeace77
I do some volunteering at a free clinic; I also enjoy chatting here at Cups. But the one activity I really enjoy is meeting new people at work. I've discovered, if given a chance, you can learn some interesting information from people who cross paths with you in the journey of life. I've always been fascinated by people who I feel have led quite different lives from what I have. Everyone I meet has a story to tell; and I'm always willing to listen.
