How do you manage loneliness?
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?

When was a time a risk you took paid off?
Life is full of adventures hiding behind an entrance fee of curiosity! It must simply be greater than our self-doubt and fears! Very few people in life land their truly aligned career or relationship on first attempt. We’ve all lived far more colourful lives than first impressions could ever tell. Share one of those stories here! For myself, last summer, I had an epiphany that I must CHALLENGE my limiting beliefs. One was that I could not be a heli-pilot because of 3 heart procedures as a kid with leukaemia. You can’t fly with risk of heart palpitations - which I have had probably once a month for 20 years. But I never medically confirmed this to disqualify me. The day after I realized I made an assumption, rather than make proof, I went to an aviation medical examiner, did all the test and passed with flying colors! 💫 I expressed my concerns and he said ‘no, you’re a young healthy guy despite your cancer, crazy if you DONT go for this with your clean bill of health.” 🤯 Next step, I call my only heli-pilot contact I met a a horseback guide in the Yukon a decade ago. I asked for pointers before paying $80,000 in schooling. 9min phone call later, he offered me a job as ground crew at his helicopter outfit in a remote Inuit village in the Yukon. I dropped my life, drove 37hours and spent 2 months in the epic north! Learned a TON! BUT! I learned that my truest calling is to be of deep and personal service to individuals. My gifts are to elevate others, and flying was just a ‘that’s pretty badass’ dream that I thought was denied me because of my heart procedures. But that man gave me an opportunity to realize my priorities and saved me heart $100,000 and YEARS of debt by giving me an inside view before investing. So my words to you, do not simply buy into any negative assumption about yourself. Challenge it and realize how often ONLY our own mindset and the story we tell ourselves is in the way! Thanks to @Georgiana D for inspiring this conversation!

INFJ
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?

What is a fear you’ve overcome or outworked?
‘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??
