Would you like to meet up with men and women once a month for a drink or cappuccinos to discuss life with its woes and occasional joys? This if it takes off will be an on-going meet up hence 'Life Buddies' A life coach or counselling may be things you're considering. Life Buddies could be a step in the right direction. We would discuss/talk about anything from current affairs to our own individual situations while lending a hand, an ear or shoulder to cry on in support in an increasingly crazy and unpredictable world.
You may be suffering burnout, depression or just going through a crisis and want someone to talk to. You may have found solutions to your problems or enjoy problem solving (not just of the work kind) or you may be the weird but wonderful creative type who has something to offer someone else less confident. Are you an out-going people person who enjoys being there for and helping others? Sad or cheerful, weird or wonderful, male or female all are welcome if you think you can bring something meaningful to the gatherings. You may be on the verge of making a life changing decision and not sure what to do or in need of seriously taking stock of your life and feel some major changes to your life are in order but don't want to make those changes without talking about it first. Do you feel unfulfilled either at home or work? You may on the other hand have it all figured out and just can't Wait to tell someone. Anyone!
I got the inspiration to start this group from an article I read recently on burnout. I've wanted to start this group for some time but had to think about what kind of group it would be and what it would mean and also how I would fit in running it with my already busy schedule. This is what I have come up with so far. I personally need this group because I believe and hope it will give me something nothing else in my life is giving me right now. A place to slow down and be honest about how I feel with my life right now and where I'm headed with it. I'm not in a terrible place right now but I do need to feel that I'm not alone but that there are others in similar situations to my own and who feel similarly to myself. I do believe this group could be really popular.
This group is just starting up so once I get some numbers in I will email and let everyone know when and where our first meet up will be. Our meet ups will be in bars, pubs or cafes around Hampshire and all areas of UK as I believe these will be the easiest for everyone to get to no matter where they are travelling from London. If you'd like to be a life buddy and come along to our meet ups drop me a line. Look forward to hearing from you.
