I feel a sense of belonging in my community.
My family .
Here at cups.
I need to be heard to feel I belong.
Included.
Accepted as I am 🥰💚
@Amanda84
Nice that you have places and people that make you feel that you belong there, glad to hear that 7cups is also included. I feel so too.
Freedom to be yourself.
I belong at my home. Mostly, I can just be.
@amiablePeace77
Still searching for both.
@amiablePeace77
I need to feel accepted and safe. I feel this with my friends and family.
@herewithhaley
Nice that you have that kind of support!
Yes, feel blessed and grateful each day!!
I feel belonging in thinking of belonging, of the hope belonging shapes, the gratitude that thrives in belonging, and the unwavering capaciousness the idea of belonging extends. The thought of belonging, in itself, is a rejuvenating moment, a rejuvenating place - of rest, of calm, of growth.
@charmingZebra4754
Well put! Gratitude and belonging are both essential for a fulfilling life!
I agree, gratitude is so interesting that way. Like belonging, sort of. At least in the sense that I think about gratitude and I experience being grateful. So times where I might feel othered, I think about belonging a lot. Times when I know that I lack necessities, I bring gratitude to mind and ... it's just better.
@amiablePeace77
Acceptance without judgement. I get that with my family and at work. I need more of it at home.
@thoughtfulmomma
Good that you've people at work who accept you for who you are! Hope it will be like this at home too one day.
@amiablePeace77
Belonging anywhere is up to me (73F). It has been a sport of mine since I lost my shyness around 20 years old. All one needs to do is to be curious; confident and happy. Enjoying social challenges all the time, like both of my parents actually. It is probably a family sport of ours to make our comfort zone as wiiiiide as possible.
@Fradiga
Thank you for your input. The bigger the comfort zone the easier life is!
@amiablePeace77 Here at cups, Church, In my home town, with family, with members in my Fraternity, at my volunteer job.
@amiablePeace77
What do you need to feel belonging?
I need to be heard, seen, listened to, included, feel like I’m a part or a significant part of whatever’s happening
Where do you feel belonging at the moment?
Inside myself, here in this 7Cups community, and wherever it’s just me.
@akunknown
The feeling of belonging inside of us is a most fundamental part of our well-being!
Beautiful prompt. Currently I belong to myself, my purpose, my creativity, to the universe and humanity.
I need to feel accepted, free and emotionally safe to belong. ð§¡
What inspired you to come up with this prompt if thats okay to ask? :)
@CalmSafeNest
I agree with you, emotional safety is important to be able to develop a feeling of belonging.
Of course it's okay to ask. 😊. It took me a long time to understand that I need to feel belonging inside first before I could feel belonging to any person or place.
