Feeling Alone or Isolated?


Feeling Alone or Isolated?

I have been there... 
it's not fun to feel like you don't connect to anyone. You would love to have a few sweet friendships and some people to do life with. Friends are certainly the spice of life and worth changing a few important mindsets to get there.

Here are a few ideas to help you...

~Say YES to invitations! 
Definitely, Show up! No excuses.
Not only will you surprisingly enjoy yourself, but you will get invited back if you won't decline.

~Stop overthinking
...really, just stop.

~Don't presume things
 that are just not true. 
ex: "They don't like me." or "We have nothing in common."

~Pray for opportunities
 to meet others and make connections.

~Join a fitness group/gym
 or a Life Group at your church.

~Start a neighborhood Dinner Club.

~Have a Block Party.

~Invite someone
 that you would like to get to know to lunch or for a walk.

~Look for needs
 that others have and offer to help.  Keeping the focus off ourselves is truly where you find joy.

~Reach out! 
However that may look, but it could be to bake cookies and introduce yourself to a new neighbor...give her a card with your number so she can call if she needs anything.

"Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also the interests of others." 
Philippians 2:4

"Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil." 
Ecclesiastes 4:9

"A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." John 13:34

"Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord." 2 Peter 1:2
