Get Connected The importance of connection to our health and wellbeing. In today’s episode, we dive into the topic of connection. This won’t be the only time we talk about connection, we will dive into the idea of connection in relationships (WE) in a later episode. For now, we are talking more about the ME connection. In today’s episode, we will cover the following: The impact COVID has had on connection to Self and others. The physiology of stress and connection And why connection is so integral to our well-being and mental health A few of the highlights: So although introverts enjoy spending time alone, they are still social animals and need connection. Since they are less likely to seek this out, they are more prone to feelings of isolation. I noted this with clients who lived alone as well. Because by nature those that lived with others, had some sense of connection to the others in daily living. Those who had established relationships that they could create a “bubble” with and maintain it. Social engagement with people we care about and strangers too can help us feel connected to something bigger than ourselves. Face-to-face (not just through a screen), physical contact, talking and sharing stories, and laughter with others, are all essential components of connection. Connection calms our nervous system. It reminds us that we are in a community with others and that helps us feel safe (usually!). A deep conversation with someone releases oxytocin, the hormone that I mentioned in the that is at the top of the hormone hierarchy - the master balancer that can balance cortisol levels, and thus, reduce stress. Connection is fundamental to well-being. The importance of connection cannot be overstated. It's crucial for our health and happiness. Without connection, we become disconnected from ourselves, and we lose our connection to the world around us and often the people that matter most to us. This can lead to depression and other mental health problems. Self-Compassion can’t be overstated as we think about the connection (again in this context with our own Self). It is in fact one of the three pillars of self-compassion. More on this in an upcoming episode and our Self-Compassion program in June. Practices The Practice for the next couple of weeks is to consider your stress levels and overall well-being. And notice if you are moving towards or detaching. Can you make a choice to move towards when you feel like moving away? Towards your needs and self-care, towards your loved ones with long hugs and more quality time with phones and screens away. Make it a priority in our self-care practices as it will reduce our stress and allow us to feel that sense of interconnectedness with something greater than ourselves. The other practice that is very helpful when we are connecting is Metta Meditation or . This meditation practice can be extremely helpful in connecting to self and others with more love and compassion. /episode/index/show/0157a23a-c9d5-4c6f-835e-e688aa2c136b/id/26123106
