Life moves so fast and we find it harder and harder to connect with others. We often run into someone we haven't seen in awhile and many times we end the conversation with "let's do lunch soon" while said in good intentions it seldom happens. What if we could be intentional in creating intentionality and space to connect with people...in person face to face, not on social media. Loneliness is an epidemic that is curable. By seeing & valuing people as we go about our day, and creating connecting times with folks- we can lessen the loneliness that so many struggle with in their lives. Let's pick up the phone, facetime or connect face to face with others. Check out this podcast.
Loneliness is consider at an epidemic level. How can we be around so many people and still feel lonely? What if we worked at making connections with people. The people in our life that we know are acquainted with, to those that may be around us as we go about our day. We let the fullness of our lives keep us from having connections and making connections with others. It takes effort, it takes creating a space and with intentionality to connect. Valuing people goes a long way. Seeing people so important. In a previous episode I shared about putting heart stamps on people's heart as you move about your day, and at the end of the day- you can see your heart stamps (kinda like passport stamps). You'll hear about the amazing idea of the white envelope. Connecting with others means creating time, space, being a good listener, asking questions. Everyone has a story and people love to talk about themselves. You'll be amazed at the connections and things you have in common. This week- take 15 minutes a day to connect face to face with people- make the phone call, make the lunch date, make some plans. Your heart & health will be over flowing with joy.
