Do you belong?

Brene Brown says, “Stop walking through the world looking for confirmation that you don’t belong. You will always find it because you’ve made that your mission.”

And she goes on to say, “No one belongs here more than you.”

Belonging is as real of a human need as food and water. So when we feel like we don’t belong, our nervous system registers that as a life-or-death stressor. It’s painful and scary.

Where DO you belong? With whom DO you belong? And can you feel into the feeling of belonging to YOURSELF…and use that positive feeling of support to connect with others in belonging?

Maya Angelou said, “You only are free when you realize you belong no place - you belong every place - no place at all. The price is high. The reward is great.”

She goes on to say, “I belong to myself. I’m very proud of that. I’m very concerned of how I look at Maya. I like Maya very much.”

Step into belonging. The reward is great. You belong here.
