When was the last time you made a new friend? If you feel you haven’t connected with somebody new in awhile let me share some ways that you can connect with new people.

This week, I want you to try one of these tried and treasured ways of meeting new people.

Join a hobby group that you enjoy.  No, it doesn’t have to be fitness related.  Whatever you enjoy - playing cards, knitting, games, photograph, computers, travel, concerts - there is a group or class for you. Try MeetUp.com for an interest group near you.

For Mothers  In Australia and perhaps elsewhere, after having a baby you are invited to join a Mothers’ Group for mothers of a similar children’s age.  My sister in law still stays in touch with one of the mothers from her mother’s group and her baby is now 23 years old! Playgroups are another way of connecting with mothers, and then of course there is school.

At Work  Do you really know everybody in your work life?  Go out of your way to say hi to somebody new in your workplace.  Business owners, check out business networking events.  Whether you’re in a certain industry, a woman business owner, or whatever else, there is likely a specialty business association you can join. Not only are they useful, but they’re a great way to meet like-minded people and make friends.

It can be daunting to meet new people, but upon connecting with someone, note the positive feelings of being with another person.
