Connection is tricky with remote working, social distancing and fear of catching or spreading COVID. However, if we practise self-care we need to recognise that we all crave meaningful connection and need to cultivate spaces for this to happen whether in-person or virtually.
Brene Brown in her latest & beautiful book, “Atlas of the Heart” says,
“Connection is the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard and valued; when they can give and receive without judgement; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.”
This week, I encourage you to identify two or three people with whom you can have regular meaningful connection. People that give you back at least as much as you give them. Ask yourself who do I currently have that kind of relationship with or who might I be able to go deeper with? Then connect.
