I noticed there's a few of us with our Myer's Briggs personality type on our profile. I'm INFJ, which is only about 9% of the population, and known as the Counselor. It's very fitting considering my natural calling and life path. Who here is also an INFJ? What's your personality type, and do you find it's fitting for who you are?

Hey everyone, I am a travel nurse about to take on my first contract outside of Canada! I wanted to pick your lovely brains on what you do to manage loneliness. This is a two part question: - I’m about to start a life in Australia, leaving everything behind for 1 year +. Do you have any advice on networking and building community in a new place? I want to be intentional with who I surround myself with, how do you maintain a standard of friendship when the urgency for connection is strong? - Leaving home has brought up lots of feelings. I feel there is a disconnect between myself and my loved ones who can’t relate to the experience I’m having. I feel as though time spent with me is not being prioritized by my loved ones which has left me feeling ironically lonely before I leave. How do you grieve imperfect goodbyes?

‘Every time fear wins it is strengthened.’ That quote terrifies me. - What mindset/reframe helped you overcome hesitation? Fear puts invisible walls up on the possibilities of our life. Some are simply good for us, some are learned and purely fed by an unruly commitment to feeling inadequate. I say ‘commitment’ because if the same diligence was put into convincing ourselves greater than that fear, we would inevitable conquer it. When you take a radical ownership of your life, you realize playing against fears is the fastest way feeling truly present and alive. It builds a confidence faster than any other habit. It makes you wonder ‘what else have I been holding myself back from?’ - I DESPISE being on camera. So I’ve done over 270media posts since 2020. The chance what I share is valuable to somebody is more important than my insecurity. - I feared starting public interactions, so I did 100reps of just saying “Hey, I’m working on breaking my social anxiousness, can I ask you a story-question?’ And asked one from ‘Compass of Connection’😜 it became a fave thing to do when stuck on a chairlift now ! - I feared being misunderstood and social conflict. Because my upbringing reference was malicious conduct and put-downs. I didn’t want to act that way. So learning to slow down, reframe to ‘us vs problem’ conduct, I actually am fairly excited during misunderstandings. It is an opportunity to see how truly committed we are to a harmony, or whether insecurity is still running the show. Nothing refines connection like stacking victories over issues. I KNOW I get to be a living example of healthy conduct and change others sense of possibility for how arguements can unfold:) How about you??

Beginning weekly gratitude dumps for us all to share wins, precious moments, appreciations and the funny ways life twists, turns and changes on us so quickly. - 4 days back deep into van life. Drove 12hrs, grateful for a reliable home on wheels and the beauty around every corner of NZ. (First few pics below) - For finding friends on hikes as I wander and being welcomed into strangers lives. - For getting to celebrate @Cassidy White beginning her new beginning travel nursing in Australia! Proud of her expanding her life so boldly. - @Brendan OCallaghan for being a rock solid new friend the last 2ish months. Having a brother to share things we are truly working through and being a frontline supporter on all things. And taking on gratitude journalling and already reaping the many serene benefits of it! - Getting to wake up to the rest of you making such a beautiful supportive and inviting environment here. It’s also been so good on my mind to leave other socials behind and solely nurture this. Sooo much less brain fog and time wasted doomscrolling. - Grateful for cute animals and kind people. - For experiencing high and low-tides of the ocean .. feels like the earth is breathing and beaming with life here. - For a healthy body that can do ridiculous hikes and heal (reasonably) quickly. - For neighbours that invite me on the sea and give me a top notch first overnight sea fishing trip, despite being sea sick 20hrs straight 😆 #sayyestotheadventure! How about you guys? Photos for extra cool credits

If you could DESIGN the ideal friend, what qualities would you give them? Everybody has different needs and different styles of support to balance and optimize their lives. (Read to the bottom for why this is SO important) My ideal friend would be something like: - 🧠 Challenges my beliefs and integrity. Because I value learning and consistency. - 🧗 Adventurous, fit and spontaneous. Because every venture is enriched in good company. As well as friendly competition. - 🖊️ Emotionally literate and curious. I value the truth and mutual understanding. - 📈 Bold and legacy-orientated. To have a friend who understand and truly appreciates the difficulties and unique joys that come with life-spanning goals. Who acts in such a way to leave people and places better than we found them. - 🎸 Knows how to balance work and play. Because I need reminders to go be silly for silliness sake and stay forever young 🤙 *Why make this list as detailed as possible?* Because if YOU want that in a friend, then so do OTHERS! You can wrap your free time around becoming the valuable individual you wish to find in the world. You will never be bored another day of your life as you pursue that sort of excellence. Inevitably, you cannot help but attract people of a common chord. This community is living proof of that. I am honour by each of your presence and contribution! To the aligned goal of celebrating life’s strange twists, supporting one another’s unique path, and collaborating our collective love and wisdom so others may prosper alongside us! No matter where they are in their journey 🤝 I did a 2-part video explaining how our values are supported by a foundation of gratitude in Actualizing Gratitude P.1 (4:26) - How to Lead Yourself - Badass Gratitude · ProSpirit Check that out for more context and come back with your reflections so others may grow from your unique insight:)
