Cultivating a sense of belonging enhances wellbeing from "summary" of The Little Book of Lykke by Meik Wiking
Belonging is a fundamental human need. We all want to feel connected, to be part of a group, a community, a family. It is in our nature to seek out relationships and connections with others. When we feel like we belong, we are happier, healthier, and more fulfilled.
Belonging gives us a sense of identity and purpose. It helps us feel valued and appreciated. When we feel like we are a part of something bigger than ourselves, we are more likely to take care of ourselves and others. We are more motivated to work towards common goals and support one another in times of need.
Cultivating a sense of belonging is essential for our overall wellbeing. It can improve our mental and physical health, our relationships, and our sense of self-worth. When we feel like we belong, we are more resilient in the face of challenges and setbacks. We have a support system to lean on, people who will lift us up when we fall.
Belonging is not just about being part of a group; it is about feeling accepted and included for who we are. It is about creating a safe space where we can be ourselves without fear of judgment or rejection. When we feel like we belong, we are more confident and more willing to take risks and try new things.
Cultivating a sense of belonging requires effort and intention. It means reaching out to others, building connections, and creating a supportive environment where everyone feels welcome. It means listening to others, showing empathy and understanding, and being open to different perspectives and experiences.
Belonging is a two-way street. It requires both giving and receiving, supporting and being supported. It is about building relationships based on trust, respect, and mutual care. When we cultivate a sense of belonging, we create a community where everyone can thrive and grow together.
