Who do you have easy access to that you'd be EXCITED to help? This can be your neighbors, colleagues, religious friends, golf buddies, cooking friends, etc.
This question assumes I actually go out and do things with people, or hang out with people on the internet!
I had a tough time with this question.
I don't feel like I have "easy access" to specific communities like "golf buddies."
I go to a gym that is focused on one-on-one personal training.
I do yoga by watching yoga videos on YouTube.
I do interval training (walk 40 seconds, run 20 seconds) around my neighborhood by myself, not with a running group.
I'm a caregiver for my Mom, but I'm not part of an in-person caregiver support group or caregiver online forum.
I don't want to get stuck on this question (no overthinking!), so I went through my notes and picked three groups where I felt a buzz of energy:
- Short men who are fat, yet need/want to be presentable
- Single men who are in their late 40s/early 50s with little dating experience
- Caregivers for parents with Alzheimer's/dementia
I am, or have been, a member of all three groups.
I don't know how much help I can provide, I don't have obvious connections with others in the same situation, but I understand what people in these groups are going through.
One possibility is content creation (i.e., writing or YouTube) for these groups. Sharing the journey. Struggles, victories, lessons learned along the way.
