As stated in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, the third tier is belongingness and love. A sense of belongingness can come from being in a group of people who share the same values as you, and whom you get along with. To not be in an community and t isolate yourself can cause many issues, including lack of social interaction, low self-esteem, loneliness, and lack of cooperation. Due to lack of community this can affect your self-identity as well and how you see yourself. Being in a community can further one's people skills, like teamwork and cooperation. It is very important to be able to have proper communication and people skills to be able to function in a society.

What qualities define you? What’s something about your appearance that makes you unique? What are your beliefs? These are the many questions people may ask themselves when prompted with the question, “How do you identify yourself?”. Identity is the many characteristics that define YOU as a person.

Cultural identity is the identity someone has based upon their cultural beliefs, traditions, food/drinks, and music. Cultural identity can influence individuals by changing the way someone believes, feels, and acts. There are two types of culture that can influence individuals; materialistic and non-materialistic. Materialistic culture are physical objects, such as books or clothes. Non-Materialistic culture are values or beliefs. It is important to understand your cultural identity and how that affects your day to day life. Some people may resent their cultural identity due to differing beliefs, but some people may be proud of their culture and conform to those beliefs. Either way, it is extremely important to understand your culture and others because it can help you understand others and shape your life.

Community is a group of people that share similar interests and common characteristics and beliefs through social interactions within society. A community can take place in virtual spaces or physical geographical spaces that make people feel a sense of home and comfort when in those spaces.

You may think physical wellness doesn't impact much but it really does. From what you eat to how much you exercise to even how you breathe matters. Developing good habits, like trying to stay at a healthy weight to getting enough sleep to doing some form of exercise at least once a week, can help impact our overall well-being now and especially in the future. Even if you don't think it's doing anything, it's important to be proud of yourself for trying and remembering that not handling the problem won't make it go away. Brains are like the head honcho muscle of our body and with the other parts not being that well, impacts it. (NIH for the image)

Whether we realize it or not, social wellness is one of the most impactful things on our mental health. Humans are social creatures; we are meant to make connections, and not doing that is not living. Albeit, making social connections can be very challenging for some, it's still important to try and never quit trying.  (PDF from NIH)

Intersectionality is a term used to describe the interconnected nature of social categories like race, ethnicity, gender, class, sexuality, and other aspects of identity that shape a person's experiences and opportunities in society.
These are also aspects of an identity that can significantly impact a person's societal experiences.

For example, A Muslim woman may have a different experience based on her religion, race, and gender. Or a Black woman with her race, and her gender. Or a gay Asian man because of his sexuality and race.

We can see how identities intersect and interact to shape a person's life and experiences.

Although studying intersectionality might be negative, it is important to appreciate and welcome the ways that every person is different to create an environment of mutual respect.

In summary, having a sense of community and identity as an individual will provide many benefits to your life.

It can give you a space where you can belong, connect with others who have similar values, and acceptance! Having shared experiences allows you to empathize with others and feel validated.

Diversity and inclusivity can start with understanding a person's identity, and instead of exclusion, provide a space for inclusion. Every single person is different and unique and so we celebrate different cultures, perspectives, and ways of life without judgement.
