The H Factor – Who’s Your Lifeline

Send us Fan MailThis week we are talking about our life lines. I ask you to consider — who’s your lifeline?Not the metaphorical one, but the real, human connection that keeps you afloat when life gets heavy.We’ll dig into the interesting history of the word “lifeline,” what research says about how connection affects our health and habits, and how you can create your own H-Factor system of support.It’s practical and deeply human —you’ll leave reminded that you were never meant to do this alone. Quote of the week“My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together. When we see the other as part of ourselves, we begin to build a world where no one is left behind.”by Desmond TutuInstagram: fina.projectweightlossCitationsEtymonline. (2024).
