Reach Out

For the past 3 weeks, I have been attending the Reach Out Party, hosted by the wonderful Carly Valancy and based on the book by Molly Beck. The idea is simple: how might your community evolve if you reached out to someone new every day for 27 days? 

My mind is still blown by what I have discovered. Having a reach out practice has changed my outlook SO much and has helped me to form a habit of reaching out anytime I feel inspired by another person. So what happens when you start to reach out every day? Here’s what I found:

1. I have found that I have the ability to inspire others without realizing it.

2. I have received advice from people whom I look up to.

3. I have reconnected with old friends.

4. I have made new friends.

5. I have set coffee dates and zoom meetings with people I want to connect with.

6. I have expressed gratitude for those who have made an impact on me.

7. I have received reach out tips from my fellow RO-Partiers! 

8. I have found a community of people that I look forward to seeing (virtually!) every day.

9. I have recognized the power in authenticity.

10. I have added just a bit of sunshine to my life.
