The Power of Community in Building Habits
At The Tall Elephant, we’ve always believed that growth happens best in community. Since our inception, we have been a community-first organization, dedicated to providing spaces where members can thrive together. Research on Blue Zones—regions known for their longevity and well-being—shows us the vital role communities play in shaping lasting habits.
How Communities Help Build Habits
1. Shared Values and Support
When you’re surrounded by people who value well-being, those behaviors become the norm. The encouragement from others helps you stay consistent, even when motivation dips. This is a core aspect of Blue Zones, where shared social norms naturally promote healthier choices.
2. Accountability and Connection
Communities provide a built-in support system that keeps you on track. Being part of a group with shared goals—whether it’s journaling, mindfulness, or other practices—makes sticking to habits easier through mutual encouragement.
3. Emotional and Psychological Strength
Feeling connected reduces stress and builds resilience, both of which are crucial for sustaining new habits. In Blue Zones, strong social bonds are linked to lower stress levels and higher happiness, leading to more sustainable lifestyle changes.
At The Tall Elephant, we create these spaces for growth, cultivating a “Blue Zone” mindset within our community. Our approach is rooted in fostering meaningful connections that help bridge the gap between intention and action, making habit-building a shared and supported journey.
Note: Membership to the community is based on bringing kindness into this space, being respectful of others, and following the guidelines.
The Importance of Master Classes in Habit Formation
Master classes provide a vital space for growth, offering opportunities to learn, relearn, and unlearn habits in a dynamic environment. At The Tall Elephant, our master classes are not just about acquiring new skills; they are about transforming the way we engage with our habits by learning from experts and fellow community members.
Navigating the Spectrum of Emotions
In the realm of the eight primary emotions—joy, sadness, trust, disgust, fear, anger, surprise, and anticipation—we all strive towards cultivating joy and other beneficial emotions. However, as we build habits, we often encounter setbacks that can steer us towards less favorable emotional states, such as frustration or self-doubt. This is where the power of surprise comes into play. Surprise helps to balance the emotional experience by providing a jolt that disrupts negative patterns, opening the door to new insights and possibilities.
Master Classes: A Catalyst for Positive Change
Master classes offer a fresh perspective that helps us see the same challenges in new ways. By introducing novel approaches and insights, they activate adrenaline and stimulate the release of feel-good neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and serotonin. This not only enhances our learning experience but also supports the process of building and maintaining habits. The excitement of discovering something new re-energizes our commitment to change, making it easier to stay on track even when the journey gets tough.
Master classes provide the tools and encouragement needed to shift our focus back toward beneficial emotions, helping us maintain the balance between progress and setbacks. By participating in these classes, we create an environment where growth is continuous, guided by expert knowledge and enriched by the experiences of the community.
