Disconnect to Reconnect

Have you ever felt like others don’t understand your pain when they seem to be living a happy life? You’re not alone in feeling this way, but the truth is that happiness takes work, and learning how to live life to the fullest takes dedication and practice.

People who smile in public have been through every bit as much as people who cry, frown, and scream. They just simply found the courage and strength to smile through it and enjoy life in the best way possible.

Life is short, and we only live once. Learning to live life to the fullest is an important step in making the most of every day.

Sometimes you just need to disconnect and enjoy your own company.

I enjoy interacting with people—but I also enjoy my own company. It is a wonderful feeling to spend time with myself, enjoying a sense of peace and silence with a cup of coffee, or doing something I like on my own.I find it rejuvenating to be with myself. It’s a kind of healing. And I also find the quietness encourages my creativity. In fact, I wake up early every morning just so I can sit with my coffee and enjoy my thoughts, without any distraction. No phone calls, no doorbells. I like to think of it as my golden hour.

It’s okay to take a break once in a while…

1)Helps to relieve anxiety

2)You will get to know yourself better

3)Makes you more independent

4)Allows you to set your priorities straight and be more focused

How Can You Relax?

Some people unwind while they garden, cook, or read. Others pray or meditate. Or you can explore techniques like:

• Visual imagery

• Progressive muscle relaxation

• Massage

• Deep breathing

• Biofeedback.

Remember, you have worth

If you’re a member of the living dead, today or often, I’m not saying that you’re worthless, or you somehow resemble a zombie. You’re a human being, you’re unique, and you have incredible worth.

We all have living dead days. Just do your best to start moving out of the pattern of disconnection. Go out of your way to reach out. People are occasionally going to ignore you, be grumpy toward you, insult you. Remember when dealing with them that, just as you have unique worth, they do too.

Meanwhile reconnecting again matters more.Reconnecting doesn’t have to be transactional. It can be a genuine effort to rekindle a friendship. Instead of just doing my annual “Happy birthday!” post, I’d love to hear about the highlights and low points of your year. Or I was thinking about the people who matter most to me, and I realized how much I missed our interaction..❤️
