Belonging
Belonging is a deep sense of unconditional acceptance at the level of being. The feeling can't be earned, bought, or sold. It starts within.
Exploring through a lens of belonging helps us notice areas of life we seek it through conditional acceptance, approval, and fitting in. We might notice the use of symbolic identity markers, tribal affiliations, and othering as an attempt to feel belonging. But as we see things from this perspective, we notice a discrepancy between the appearance and the feeling of belonging. This helps us re-frame and rewrite the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves and others.
