Connecting Reduces the Effects of Emotional Events
Connection is paramount.
In any culture around our beautiful world, the sense of connection and being understood creates a powerful sense of self. When we don't feel supported we feel as though weights are pressing down on our shoulders and that feeling can make it hard to function on a daily basis.
Talking about something that has happened to you that is weighing on your mind can be an integral way to process the emotional heaviness you're carrying around. By debriefing with someone you trust it gives space for healing and understanding.
Connection and sharing are essential parts of how we thrive.
No one can do everything all by themselves. In the Western world we've forgotten about the village mentality. Sharing is Love. And Love is the bottom line in how we feel connected. Love just has to be.
Who do you have in your life that you can talk to or ask a favour of? What are you willing to ask of them? Can you get out of your own way to receive the support?
Allow the compassion in your heart to shine through for yourself and those around you. You don't need to hold it all on your own.
Love you always,
