87. What about connection!

We have heard the war cry of connection pretty consistently for a while now. If we can all learn that connection is a choice of the involved parties our power to control the connections in our lives returns in a dramatic fashion. If you desire the benefits of personal and professional connections then it’s time to start choosing to be connected! I remember clear back to a year ago when everything went crazy and schools shut down and everyone started becoming increasingly aware of connection This has even gotten to where it is a great buzz word I wonder if we all understand how much choice we have in the amount of connection we either do or do not have There are many different levels of connection, true but if we desire to be more connected to our loved ones, or our students, or our co workers, then we really can make that choice As crazy as it sounds even if someone is acting a very hard to deal with way, we can choose to feel connected to them, choose to see that they might be struggling If this is a struggle for you then start with someone you usually feel connected with and figure out what thoughts you have about that person that are driving that connection Once we understand that it is our thoughts driving the feeling then we can begin to transfer these feelings to those we have a bit more difficulty with. The benefits are well documented about why connection is so important when it comes to our mental and emotional health so why would we choose disconnection? There is such a unique power that comes from our ability to choose in our relationships of all kinds. And once we tap into that power of connection all of our lives become more full and we are able to accomplish more in our lives. If you find yourself disconnected from everyone and are struggling to gain traction then come work with me!
