How to connect?

To belong we need to connect, and to connect we need to communicate. 

Connecting online means we have access to hundreds of people, but we are often left feeling isolated and more alone.  Connecting with friends, family and colleagues authentically, means we need to connect with ourselves first. 

How well do you listen to others ? Do you listen in order to reply ? Or do you empathise without judgement so you can be supportive ?

How do you interpret your own thoughts and feelings, so that you can communicate what you really mean, and ask for what you need.

How would it feel to ask for what you actually need, in a way that can be heard and understood, and without fear of being judged ? Allowing yourself to be authentic with others, enables you to communicate genuinely , and find the people you feel safe with and connected to.
