Life used to provide everything we needed. The default was optimal. Now, we've "advanced" so much that we can no longer trust the default path. The consequence of modern conveniences means that health requires intentional behaviors.

We understand this story when it comes to movement and nutrition, but it's also true for our social lives. If you're not actively seeking and creating social connections, you are going to be extremely deficient in a vital nutrient.

PS. Can confirm that F3 is awesome.

PPS. You can just do stuff. I wanted to connect with other guys around big life issues so I started a journal club. I spent a few hours across 2-3 days writing personal invites. Six months in and its become one of my favorite weekly blocks.

My wife just started a park workout group for new moms. Babies and bells....kettlebells that is.

There's so many social things to join if you look, but it's also very easy to start your own.

You can just do things!

Well put! Sounds like Marika has created something amazing. The creation part does take some guts. As I've experienced, things can often fail, but you learn and create better the next time.

Absolutely! Gotta just approach it like an experiment. If it works out, great. If not, usually the sessions that did happen were beneficial if it doesn't feel worth it to continue.
