One of my #summergoals is to be more social. But, it’s hard when my bed is so comfy and new spaces (and faces) make me anxious. 🖤 About two weeks ago, @liteworkevents had their #SummerWinedown event at @urbangrape and I really wanted to go because I love wine and I love supporting #blackownedbusinesses even more. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find someone to go with me. 🖤 What did I do? I put on a cute outfit and my favorite #thewraplife headwrap and I went. 🖤 Immediately I headed straight to the wine tasting table. Why? Because like that Snickers commercial, I’m always in a better mood after I eat or drink something. Plus, it’s the best place to spark a conversation with a stranger. “Have you tried the rose?” “Which bottle would you recommend I try next?” Simple, but effective conversation starters. 🖤 To my surprise, I ran into someone I knew at the wine table, which made the event less anxiety inducing and more enjoyable. Plus, I got to try and purchase a bottle of Love Drunk, a #blackownedwine 🍷 🖤 Lesson here is don’t let your social anxieties and fears keep you from doing things you love. Come up with a game plan that makes you comfortable and then just go and do it. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 Are you working on any goals this summer? If so, share in the comments.
