5. Find Like Minds: Join a class or find an interest group. Getting to know new people can be part of the learning process in a new class. Whether you enjoy winetasting, water painting. Bush walking or going to the movies, there’s bound to be an interest group in your area where you can meet like-minded people.
6. Reconnect with long lost friends: Pick up the phone and call an old friend who you have lost touch with. See if they’d like to catch up for coffee. It’s very likely they will be delighted to hear from you, and will enjoy reconnecting every bit as much as you (assuming your friendship didn’t end badly)
7. Invite people over: Many people are intimidated by the idea of inviting people over for dinner, or ever a coffee. But some of the best conversations happen over a coffee or casual meal. Yes it may be a bit scary, but real connection will always demand a degree of risk and vulnerability. Then again, what worthwhile endeavor doesn’t?
