Connect. Collaborate. Contribute. Celebrate.
These C words all help us here at The Good Day Matrix focus on Community.
Community
Communities bring people together! Regardless of where you live there will be a community that you belong to, they are everywhere! Whether it is the local soccer, netball, or rugby league club, or the arts and crafts group you meet with, a kapa haka group, the local school and MANY more! We are connected to lots of little communities whether we intend to or not! But how does this impact our wellness?
Connect
Connecting with others and being together with those that positively impact our lives brings SO much joy to our lives! Forming those relationships with others and being social helps fill our cups up and helps us to get through our days. So much so, that sometimes we underestimate the true value of friendships that our communities bring into our lives!
Collaboration
Working together and having a true sense of togetherness is vital for a community to thrive! Think about a community that you have been a part of that reminds you of fun, friends, belly laughs, good yarns, openness, those are the types of communities we hope to help you contribute to!
Contribute
Communities wouldn’t last very long if they didn’t have awesome people, like you, contributing to them. Now when we say this we do not mean you are on every Board, Community Group or PTA there is (go you, if this sounds like you, we celebrate you, but this isn’t realistic for everyone!). So, we mean that your contribution might be walking around town with a smile on your face, or you might ask strangers how they are in shops, you might pick up rubbish instead of walking past it! There is no rule book on contributing, as long as what you are actively putting out into the community is from your best interest to connect and showing you’re positively engaged then your community will be better with you being a part of it!
Celebrate
If you were to walk down the main street of your town, it is likely you will see a range of people from different walks of life and that have come from different communities of people! Humans are a diverse bunch of people, but we are always brought together by connection and that sense of community! It’s important to recognise this sense of diversity and celebrate it within our communities, here at The Good Day Matrix we aim to help provide you with the tools to be empathetic in all communities and help recognise the importance of connecting!
Summary
At The Good Day Matrix we aim to help highlight these key aspects that our community provides for us! Feeling empathetic and connected resonates massively within the word community, we want to help ignite those feelings further and capture them in a way that sparks conversations to benefit our wellness!
