Do you say "yes" to only what's familiar? 🙃
There is something special about attending gatherings where you don't know everyone. You may be both nervous 😬 and excited 🤗 at the same time.
Retreats are a great way to expand your social circle in a relaxing environment and gently nudge you out of your comfort zone. 🧘🏾♀️
Tips:
💡Go with a beginner's mind. Make room for what's possible.
💡 Form new friendships, even if you know people there.
💡 If you are normally a talker 🙋🏾♀️, practice listening more.
💡 If you are usually the silent one, participate more in the discussions and activities.
💡 Try a food that you have never had, or one that you haven't had in a while.
💡Genuinely laugh out loud in a way that can be heard and not texted.
💡If your day-to-day involves lots of driving, let someone else take the wheel.
💡Spend time in nature.
💡 Be proud of yourself for going.
💡 Express gratitude for the experience.
💡 Enjoy yourself!
💡 Go with the flow and let the event's organizer take the lead. You are the guest.
💡 Last, but not least, get your dance on!💃🏽
