Episode 118: Are You Disconnected?

What if I told you that we have a serious crisis on our hands? It’s not a global pandemic and yet it may be just as dangerous to our health and well-being as a plague. The malady of the day is disconnection. Disconnection from friends, emotions, the present moment, and so much more. So much of what you and I take in everyday reinforces disconnection. Disconnection is driven by incessant marketing campaigns telling us we're not enough and we need more, social media that teaches constant comparison, and a culture of unending self-improvement at the cost of self-acceptance. Disconnection is the difference between a meaningful life with an awareness of the goodness in life, and a miserable life filled with an unending search for the next achievement.

My goal on this episode is to help you better understand disconnection and why it’s a problem, assess how it might be showing up for you, and sharing 3 things from the research that you can begin doing today to reconnect.

Disconnection is the plague of our day, I hope you'll join me this week as I discuss why that is, and how to fight that plague. Be sure to turn in next week as I'll be sharing the seven keys of self-connection, so you can really take action to help yourself.
