There was an article published today about the benefits of wellbeing of talking to strangers. This was quite an obvious statement to me. I found it funny as my husband and friends always mock me for talking to strangers wherever we go. I always respond ‘but it makes everyone feel good and you get to know about different people etc – why not?’.
It got me thinking about who talks to strangers and why. When thinking about people I’ve met and kept in contact with just from saying that initial ‘hi’ I realised they’re either lightworkers and know it or are on my ‘you’re blatantly a lightworker’ list. But that makes sense right? Lightworkers want to spread light and are here to experience and support humanity so why wouldn’t they be the ones talking to strangers the most?
It’s an interesting juxtaposition though. Lightworkers need a lot of alone time, a tight circle of friends and can often be overwhelmed by people. So why do we stop and talk to everyone we meet?! It can be hard when more of those people than ideal want to be friends. You only have so much of you to go around. So when feeling overwhelmed you can’t help but hate people. But when you walk down to the shop and someone looks glum you pass them a smile and you can’t help but love people again. The cycle continues. If this cycle continues you need to be fair and kind to yourself – set some personal boundaries, don’t feel bad about turning down opportunities to hang out with people and remember to keep your energy charged!
The great news about the article is that it encourages people to talk to strangers. To stop and say ‘hi’. Which means people will be increasingly improving their own wellbeing, that of others and the positive vibrations. A beautiful thing.
So in summary. Lightworkers love people – they get to experience new energy, share light and learn about different people and the way they think and perceive the world. Cool! But lightworkers and also hate people if the ‘pull’ on their energy and time becomes overwhelming. What a balance to strike!
When did you say ‘hi’ to a stranger? If so, why? If never, why?
