Friday Checkup #31: Connected

Connected

When we were locked into our past life many of us pulled away from personal. Social and even intimate contact with others. We began to isolate on an emotional, mental and eventually (for many) on a physical level. Many of us became so frustrated, embarrassed and discouraged by who we had or were becoming we thought the best thing to do was to take a step back from people and things that were importation us.

As we entered into this new way of living we began to feel like we had something of value to offer. The walls began to come down and we once reverted to our need to make a connection.

 

The benefits of connecting

1. Validates us as social creatures
2. Creates a platform of sharing
3. Gives us someone to share our hope with
4. Opens us up to different perspectives
5. Reminds us we are not alone
6. We realize we are not unique
7. Can Displace loneliness
8. Can serve as a measurement for progress
9. Can produce accountability
