February Theme: Introvert In Love & Dating

The theme of February is “Introverts In Love & Relationships.” One of the most common issues introverts face is navigating love and relationships because we are wired to turn inwardly. This month our IPU coaches will help you to understand your introvert nature better, guide you through the hurdle of expressing yourself in relationships, and teach you how to playfully build attraction. 

Join the discussion by using the hashtag #IntrovertLoveThings and watch out for the following topics:

It’s an Introvert Holiday!

December is upon us, ladies! We are in the final stretch of the 2020. While 2020 has turned out to be much different than many of us expected, I’m sure we can all agree that finishing 2020 strong and beginning 2021 with momentum is a must! 

In the month of December, we will focus on how we can get the most out of these 31 days!

Our IPU coaches will provide resources and tips on the following topics all month long:

🎄 Wellness tips to survive the holiday season.

🎄 How to cope with holiday sadness and grief as an introvert.

🎄 Why and how you should celebrate your unique gifts as an introverted woman. #IntrovertHoliday

🎄 How to launch into the new year with momentum.

🎄 Plus so much more…

December Product Of The Month: Holiday De-Stress Bundle

The Holiday De-Stress Bundle is loaded. Find out what it includes by clicking the image above.

I, Monica, thoroughly enjoyed Saturday’s candid convo with Robyn. If you were able to join us live I know you walked away feeling heard, understood, and hopeful.

I knew the topic would resonate with many but I had no idea we would inspire many of the ladies to share their personal situations. That made me feel so happy because if that wasn’t a true sign of SAFE SPACE, I’m not sure what else to call it.

Because of this, I thought very carefully about the session afterwards and yesterday. Initially, I planned to share the video recording but to protect our Girlfriends’ identity and privacy it’s best only to share the audio version.

I promise you, you’ll still enjoy the information shared!

If you have any questions after listening feel free to email me Monica@IntrovertedGirlfriends.com

Doormat. 

Shy. 

Stuck up.

In the month of November, we will tear down the stereotypes that attempt to confine us! Have you ever thought to yourself or said out loud, “Please don’t take my kindness for weakness. Don’t underestimate me because I don’t talk a lot. Don’t mistake my reserved demeanor for a lack of confidence. Just because I value peace and hate drama does not mean I won’t check you if you push my boundaries.” ⁣

Most introverts can relate. Sometimes our introverted personality can be mistaken for other things like lack of confidence, shyness or weakness. Even worse, sometimes we believe those labels. ⁣It’s time to set things straight. 

This month, our IPU coaches will show you what introversion IS and with it is NOT. 

Our hope is that this month you will… 

• become more self aware. 
• build and preserve better boundaries. 
• articulate concerns that you have never spoken about.
• clarify your values.
• learn how to say “no.”

FB Group Challenge – #IntrovertSchool

November Offers

Develop the art of listening well.

Sometimes, just listening attentively to your friends will make them feel better about the challenges they’re facing. To listen well helps you understand what is being said without thinking of what you’re going to say in response.

• Sometimes when we listen, we’re thinking of how we’re going to share a story about the time we experienced something similar or we’re prepare to share own current events as soon as our friend stop talking about theirs. That may be the last thing your friend needs.
• Listening well means refraining from interrupting your friends and giving them your full attention.

Be truthful.

True friendship isn’t dependent on you saying “yes” all the time and overlooking your friend’s faults. Of course, while you’re tolerant of their differences, you’ll also want to support your friends in their personal development.

• For instance, if you feel a friend has developed bad habits, you should be able to tell her. When you tell her offer some words of wisdom and provide a solution. Most of all set a good example.
• We’re sure you’ve heard this before “It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it!”
• Love can be both tough and gentle in its attempt to further the welfare of a friend. If your motives are pure, your friends will be grateful, even if they initially seem to resist your efforts.

Be loyal. Loyalty is one of the hallmarks of great friendships.

Avoid gossiping about your friends and keep the secrets safe that were given to you in love and confidence. Trust is the basis of true friendships. Treat your friends like you’d want to be treated.

Be supportive.

Help uplift them in their time of need. If your friend wants to achieve a goal such as losing weight, giving up a bad habit, or learning a new skill, offer them your whole-hearted support. Tell them it’s a good idea and provide them with the support you once wish you had because they need it too.

• For example, if your friends want to lose weight, you could join them in their exercise classes. Another option would be to suggest meeting up at a restaurant that has healthier food option instead of one that doesn’t.

Avoid arguing to win.

Trying to prove that we are right is often the root of the unhappiness we feel and see around us. Arguments can make us feel angry and resentful. Instead, just say what you have to say calmly and let it go. (Letting go isn’t a sign of weakness.)

• Agree to disagree. If you must have a debate, ensure the issue is important and your motives are correct. You’re not out to prove you’re right. You just want to discover the other person’s point of view and share your own. Most of all, you want your relationship to be better off for having had the conversation, just like they do.

Avoid taking advantage of your friends.

If you call them only when you need help or if you keep asking them for favors, you’ll come across more as a needy person than a friend.

• When they do help you, ensure that the assistance they give you doesn’t compromise them in any way. And don’t forget to show them respect and appreciation.

These tips may seem too simple but they work! Commit to implementing one or two of them consistently and watch your friendships/relationships blossom. Being a good friend isn’t only kind to those who have chosen to be in your life, but also will yield more fulfilling/satisfying connections!

We hope you found these tips helpful! Are you ready to implement them? If you said yes but aren’t sure who you’re going to practice using them with we invite you to join one of our meetup groups. 

The purpose of Introverted Girlfriends Meetup Groups is to create a safe space for introverted women to get out of the house, develop a social network, and build lasting friendships with genuine women.

Facebook Administrator Application

How much time should I plan to commit?

We prefer that you host at least two events per month.  Event organizers spend on average four hours for each event between planning, posting the event, reaching out to attendees and the event itself. We also have a conference call every other month that keeps us all on the same page. That totals about 10 hours each month. 

What are the perks?

You’ll play an important role in helping women get outside the house and build relationships with other like-minded people.  Hosting events also builds skills that may help in your personal career such as organization, attention to detail and communication.  You have the chance to build relationships with other EOs in your city and across the different chapters we have.  We waive the $5 annual dues to join the Meetup group for all EOs and have periodic giveaways for gift cards and other prizes.    Lastly, once you’ve been an event organizer for at least three months there are discounted or free advertising opportunities if you have your own business.

 What is Meetup?

Meetup.com is the platform Introverted Girlfriends currently uses to host events. It allows us to post events, track RSVPs and interact with members.  Each event is generally limited to 12 attendees so that our events remain small.  The website provides full functionality, but we also encourage EOs to download the app for ease and accessibility.

What type of events would I host?

Anything – we’re pretty open! However, we encourage new EOs to start out with events they are most comfortable with. That might be a meet and greet, brunch, movie night or bowling. You should plan an event where you can still have a good time even if only a few people attend.

I am interested in the EO position. What are the next steps?

If you live in or near one of our established chapters (see above), please email admin@introvertedgirlfriends.com with “[Input City Name] New EO” in the subject line to start the application process. After approval, you can expect to attend a 1-hour training before getting access to start hosting events.

If you would like to assist us in establishing a chapter in a new city, please complete the interest form linked below. We will contact you within 7 days of submission. We prefer to have at least four interested women before we start the application and training process for a new chapter.

Step One: Join the Private Facebook Group 

Step Two: Listen & read the instructions for the challenge posted by Sophia.

Day 1- Becoming an Introvert with a Magnetic Upbeat Vibe

Step Three: Complete Day 1 & post a photo or video on the Facebook group post. 

Video for Day: 

Tip:

Try to get charged up before going out. It’s very common for introverts to feel unenthusiastic before attending a social event. Staying in that mode while there can make you come across as standoffish. Begin developing a routine that will help you get tuned in before going out.

This can be…

– speaking to a friend for 10 -15 minutes
– getting dolled up
– watching music videos
– soaking in the sun

When all else fails, push through. You will feel better once you are there.

Day 2- Introvertella Confidence of a Diva

Step Four: Complete Day 2 & post a photo or video on the Facebook group post. 

Video for Day 2

Confident people…

• Own who they are.
• Don’t say yes until they really want to.
• Speak with certainty.
• They don’t live in a bubble of comfort.
• Celebrate others.
• Take care of themselves.

Again, introversion does not mean lack of confidence.

Introverts…

• Own who they are.
• Don’t say yes until they really want to.
• Speak with certainty.
• They don’t live in a bubble of comfort.
• Celebrate others.
• Take care of themselves.

Never feel like being confident is being untrue to your personality. Practice walking, speaking and acting with confidence.

Day 3 – Slowing Down & Loving the Skin You Are In

Step Five:  Complete Day 3 & post a photo or video on the Facebook group post. 

Video for Day 3

Tip:

Sometimes you have to stop the track, the routine, and everything going on to remind yourself that you are more than enough. There is no one else like you on the entire planet. You are strong, beautiful, and brave. Your body deserves love and respect. Today, write down 3 positive words that describe your body.

That’s pretty much it. We look forward to meeting and connecting with you.

XOXO
