Being a "Chill Host" - Lifting People, Staying Present, and Being Pleasant
Aug 09, 2018
Hosting a party can be a beautiful experience, but it often comes with stress and challenges. To become a more gracious and giving host, consider these four rules to help you chill out, lift people, stay present, and be pleasant:
- Focus on The Real Goal
- Principle: Focus on What Matters Most!
- The universal goal of being a great host is to lift people, stay present, and be pleasant.
- What you focus on tends to manifest, so keep your goal in mind.
- Example: Funny Party Fight Reenactment
- Highlight the humorous aspect of the chaos that can occur before a party.
- Emphasize the importance of maintaining a positive mindset.
- Simplify... Remember What Drives Connection
- Principle: Addition by Subtraction
- The best parties are characterized by fun, relaxation, and great conversations.
- Prioritize intangibles like proximity, time, and connected talk over materialistic elements.
- Insight:
- Quality connections matter more than quantity; don't be overwhelmed by external factors.
- Simplify by focusing on creating a space for people to connect and enjoy each other's company.
- Let Go of Your Ego
- Insight:
- Your essence knows you're doing your best; let go of the ego's pursuit of perfection.
- Allow others to help, and don't hesitate to accept volunteers.
- Advice:
- Delegate tasks based on strengths; don't try to do everything by yourself.
- Avoid being a fraud or martyr; be authentic, and remember your worth is not defined by hosting abilities.
- Celebrate Your "Life Is Good" Moments
- Principle: Appreciate what is!
- Take a moment to appreciate the positive aspects during and after the party.
- Acknowledge and celebrate the "Life is Good" moments that arise.
- Activity:
- Encourage reflecting on and vocalizing these moments rather than just capturing them for social media.
- Recognize that the challenges and efforts have paid off in creating meaningful experiences.
Embrace these principles to transform the way you host gatherings. By focusing on genuine connections, simplifying your approach, letting go of perfection, and celebrating the moments that make life good, you can become a more chilled-out and enjoyable host.
