What does togetherness means to you?

To my view and perspective, togetherness is a close and positive relationship between a group of people that are living, working, or spending time together. It deals with unity, cohesion, and a sense of belonging among people who are strongly, actively, emotionally, mentally engaged in supporting each other. Togetherness usually includes sharing of experiences, mutual support, and a feeling of connectedness and camaraderie within a group of people or community. It is also a sense of cooperation, collaboration, and teamwork in achieving common goals or objectives.

How can we creat a stronger sense of community in our lives.?
✅Communicate openly and honestly: communicating openly and freely with others people, be it your family, friends, neighbors, or colleagues. Table your ideas, and concerns to create a sense of trust and understanding within the people of your community.

✅Patronize local businesses: patronizing at local shops and restaurants, you can contribute to your community's economy and build personal relationships with the owners of the business and fellow customers. This will develop a community sense of pride and camaraderie around your community.

✅Attend community events: Participate in local events, festivals, and gatherings so that you meet new faces and engage with your community. This will really help you feel more connected and gives information about what is happening in your community.

Find a group of people that are passionate about a sport, because an event is always the best way to bring them together and foster in a community feeling. Watching live events like football, basketball, traditional dance or any other sport together will attract and bring people very closer and it can be a great way to connect with others people that has similar interests. By supporting a local sports team or participating in a community sports event, the shared experience of being part of something is larger than oneself can create a sense of unity and organization.

What are some chalenges to togetherness in today' world?
✅Busy lifestyles: everybody today are always busier than ever before, with personal obligations, work, social commitments , and above all families responsibilities occupying so much of their time. This is one the basic difficulties to find time to spend together with loved ones.

✅Technology: no doubt, technology has made it very easier for us to stay connected with our loved ones. But along the line it has also created barriers and stands as obstacles to togetherness. 80% people works through online Majority of them may spend more time interacting online or on their phones than they do in person, leading to a sense of disconnection.

✅ first thing to do in helping someone that is going through a lot is to give a listening ear to them. Listening is the most important aspect of any relationship and it’s usually what people need to feel good and understood. It’s crucial not to judge someone when they share their problems feelings, or stories. You can give an unbiased opinion or offer your points without being too critical or judgmental.

✅Be careful of your tone.
When someone is going through a tough time, they might not be in the right sense to discuss their problems. And if they do not want to discuss about it, you don't have push them to do it. So becareful of your tone and try to offer words of comfort instead of pushing for details.

✅Offer them a safe space
It is necessary to offer a person in need a safe space where they will feel comfortable opening up about what’s happening. But before doing that you need to know if the really want the help. This can be done by giving them your full attention, without interrupting, and not judging them.

So many people find it hard to discuss about what is bothering them. In situation like this you should what it means, just encourage the person to get their feelings out and take care of themselves. You don’t always have to force help or solve problems and give advice, just listen and offer your support.

Thank you so your time. I'm inviting @dirapa @lhorgic @jasminemary to participate in this content.
