Find your tribe & love them hard!

Social connectedness makes life worth living and is directly related to success and achieving whatever you defined as your definition of having it all.

PERSONAL TRIBE

Who can you count on to support you on the way to reaching those goals and who would you want to celebrate with when you do or commiserate with when you don’t.

It’s the people in your core squad that you should be wanting to celebrate with and commiserate with.

Core squad should be people that are validating, cheering you on, encouraging, reminding you how awesome you are! SIDE NOTE: MOST of the time people often need a reminder of how awesome they are not why they suck, they' probably are aware of that.

BUT with that being said, you do need people in your corner that know where and when to challenge you or keep you accountable.

Another important squad quality is CONSISTENCY. They don’t necessarily have to be physically there all the time, but they consistently have your back and won’t freak out if it’s bee a minute since you chatted.

PROFESSIONAL TRIBE

Mentor: Do you have a mentor in your field who is ahead of you?

Therapist: Seeing a therapist or councillor is like having a trainer for your brain!

Life Coach/ Pastor: Helping you live a life that you have set out to live.

ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP

This is more important that choosing the right job or career. These things come and go, but your ride or die, will be supporting you through the whole journey. Choosing the wrong partner can send your emotional wellness into a tailspin affecting everything and derailing everything. Choose wisely.

I once read this as a good BASE LINE guide: “S-U-P-E-R”

S: Secure
U: Understanding
P: Principaled
E: Educated (not necessarily schooled but learns
R: Romantic ** This is actually REALLY important. This is the only relationship in your life you will be exercising this facet of love and life, so it’s important that there is intimacy and chemistry there!
