Why Does This Promote Connection?

Now that you have an idea of what connection feels like for you, and some places that bring about this feeling, think about why.

What is it about your best friend that makes you feel most like yourself?

What is it about the ocean that gives you such a warming through your chest?

Why does a certain song or book or movie speak to you the way it does?

When we notice and investigate, we begin to parse out the why.

Maybe your favorite people all share similar values that feel accessible to you when you are with them. Your favorite movie may speak to parts of you that leave you feeling seen.

Maybe you notice an absence of this feeling in some spaces -- what's missing for you there?

If we can highlight what circumstances lend themselves to feel this connection, we can bring that awareness into other spaces of our life.
