00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:04,300
Hi. 
I'm Diane were said, and this is

2
00:00:04,300 --> 00:00:07,500
shouted, read. 
And you are visiting the 

3
00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:11,300
silvered Experience. 
Podcast, our last podcast, we 

4
00:00:11,300 --> 00:00:16,000
talked about how people have 
lost the ability to socialize 

5
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,000
that haven't even actually lost 
it. 

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,300
Just kind of forgotten it 
because we are social by Nature 

7
00:00:22,300 --> 00:00:26,100
as humans. 
So one of the things we talked 

8
00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:30,100
about that you could start being
social just by saying hello 

9
00:00:30,300 --> 00:00:34,200
Whoa, now that I realize that's 
a high-risk move sometimes but 

10
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:39,100
it is a good start but people 
ask for some more suggestions so

11
00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:43,000
Charlotte and I are going to 
talk about a few of those ideas 

12
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,800
that you might want to try as 
well. 

13
00:00:45,100 --> 00:00:49,600
Charlotte what's the first thing
that comes to mind for you? 

14
00:00:50,100 --> 00:00:55,200
So for me, given my age, I don't
really want to go out tonight 

15
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,900
clubs or bars as much as I used 
to. 

16
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,200
I also don't have Community like
a church setting or something 

17
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,100
along those lines, but something
that I do have, it's Hobbies. 

18
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,800
Mmm. 
I'm an avid cyclist, and I'm 

19
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,500
part of a Cycling group called 
social cycling. 

20
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,900
And that happens every Thursday 
and I've made a ton of friends 

21
00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:19,500
that way, I have a lot of 
hobbies. 

22
00:01:19,500 --> 00:01:24,600
I spend a lot of time at the gym
and I think making those bodies 

23
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:29,900
that a good healthy, I would 
say, like, cycling working out. 

24
00:01:30,300 --> 00:01:35,100
Cooking classes play class 
meeting any kind of hobby. 

25
00:01:35,100 --> 00:01:37,700
You can think of karate. 
I have some friends that go to 

26
00:01:37,700 --> 00:01:41,000
karate, you can meet new people 
that way. 

27
00:01:41,500 --> 00:01:46,800
So the big theme is think about 
what you love. 

28
00:01:47,100 --> 00:01:50,300
Yeah, get in figure. 
Then, figure out ways, you can 

29
00:01:50,300 --> 00:01:53,800
get involved with it because 
right off the bat, whoever you 

30
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,000
meet, you have something in 
common with right away. 

31
00:01:56,100 --> 00:01:59,000
Yeah, exactly. 
And you like the same thing. 

32
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,000
So that's My, that's my take, 
that's how I've made all my 

33
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,000
friends. 
And that's also how I stay fit 

34
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,700
and healthy. 
Because sometimes going to the 

35
00:02:07,708 --> 00:02:10,600
gym by yourself or whatever, 
it's hard to be accountable. 

36
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,000
And I think having friends that 
are like, hey, are you coming to

37
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,700
this Rye or see you at the gym? 
Because we're doing, I'm 

38
00:02:17,700 --> 00:02:19,800
learning how to swim, or 
whatever it is. 

39
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,900
It keeps you hit you accountable
and it keeps you with a good 

40
00:02:23,900 --> 00:02:25,900
schedule. 
So that's why I like it, you 

41
00:02:25,900 --> 00:02:28,700
know, that it's a really good 
point, you know, we have a 

42
00:02:28,700 --> 00:02:34,100
friend, very dear friend. 
My favorite friends is a friend 

43
00:02:34,100 --> 00:02:37,300
Judy and she moved into a 
brand-new building sing 

44
00:02:37,300 --> 00:02:41,000
neighborhood, but she's in her 
eighties, early 80s and she's 

45
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,600
very active socially, and a very
active Ghost Writer. 

46
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,200
But she moved into a new 
building. 

47
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:52,100
And one of the things, the 
buildings had is a cool and she 

48
00:02:52,100 --> 00:02:56,600
loves to swim. 
So now the pool has become 

49
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,900
something she does in her 
building and The way she's 

50
00:03:00,900 --> 00:03:02,500
meeting people. 
Exactly? 

51
00:03:02,700 --> 00:03:06,100
Yeah. 
And for me, that's my biggest. 

52
00:03:06,100 --> 00:03:11,200
Take on how to make new healthy 
habit friends. 

53
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,000
Yeah. 
So yeah, you know, another 

54
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,800
really fun thing that I used to 
do when I moved into the city 

55
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,000
which was a lot of years ago, it
was over well, getting close to 

56
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,200
40 years ago, shockingly, but 
when I moved in, I used to have 

57
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,100
what I would call you know, pack
it up yourself. 

58
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,400
Dinner's, you know, brings 
something and I would say to 

59
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:39,100
everyone either one, it was that
everyone would bring some kind 

60
00:03:39,100 --> 00:03:43,400
of meal or dish but then they 
could invite a friend. 

61
00:03:43,500 --> 00:03:46,900
But we wanted to constantly try 
to rotate that friend group of 

62
00:03:46,900 --> 00:03:50,400
who people were bringing and 
another thing, one of the most 

63
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:56,100
hilarious parties I have ever 
had that I recall was, I asked 

64
00:03:56,100 --> 00:04:00,100
everyone to bring an instrument,
whether you played one or not. 

65
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,100
And my you know, and I started 
with a group, you know couple of

66
00:04:05,100 --> 00:04:08,900
girlfriends and then they 
invited their couple of 

67
00:04:08,900 --> 00:04:12,700
girlfriends or any guy friends 
and everyone was inviting 

68
00:04:12,700 --> 00:04:15,000
different people. 
And before we knew it, we had 

69
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,800
the most hilarious music party 
going. 

70
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,500
I'm sure our neighbors learned 
Thrills, but it got people. 

71
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,200
Socialize. 
Yeah, yeah. 

72
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,000
That's an awesome way to bring 
people together. 

73
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,700
So I know record contracts. 
Yeah. 

74
00:04:31,700 --> 00:04:35,500
But I guess those are two very, 
very important things that you 

75
00:04:35,500 --> 00:04:39,600
can do now, but I really healthy
and fun to get people together. 

76
00:04:39,900 --> 00:04:42,900
Yes. 
So we encourage you socialize. 

77
00:04:42,900 --> 00:04:46,200
Get out there. 
Meet people life is about 

78
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,500
living, it's about the 
connections were making. 

79
00:04:48,700 --> 00:04:53,400
It's about who we can meet what 
fun we can have because a good 

80
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,000
life is made up of a lot of 
experiences. 

81
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:57,400
Indeed. 
I agree. 

82
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,200
