There is something about belonging to a family, group, organization, or neighborhood where you can relax and be your true self. At times we may find that friends are more welcoming than family.

Do You Belong?

What groups do you belong to? Do you feel welcome, tense, or relaxed in your groups? When we feel like we belong to a group we are more relaxed. There is something about belonging to a family, group, organization, or neighborhood where you can relax and be your true self. At times we may find that friends are more welcoming than family.
   

We all want healthy family relationships, but not everyone wants to cooperate. It may be that some boundaries need to be set so you can be yourself and avoid stress. Learning how to be included and fit into a group is work. It takes effort to be invited to a group. You may have to show you are committed, willing to serve, or provide leadership.

When you are invited into a group whether it be for fun or business you are a component of the group. You give and take and depending on the group. There may be times you get to receive more than you give. Other times you give more to the group. Having friends or groups to be involved with takes work just like any relationship. You put forth the effort to schedule time to get together and show up.
