How to Create Connection and Rebuild relationships in an Age of Loneliness and Isolation!!!!

 

One of the hardest things about these last 15 months or so has been the inability for many to see loved ones, friends and co-workers in person. Things like loss of connection and feelings of loneliness and isolation have caused so much havoc on the health of so many people and social media and technology have quickly risen to take the place of these interpersonal connections which isn’t the greatest alternative.

 

While the pandemic could be the easy thing to blame for these issues, I am afraid they started long before. It has been reported that the average American hasn’t made a new friend in 5 years which is disheartening. I think by now we all know the benefits of deep personal connections and relationships. Studies show that they help us live longer, feel better and improve our health. With that said, I couldn’t think of a better time to talk about this topic.

And today’s conversation is going to educate you on what’s at the root cause of these feelings of loneliness and isolation while ultimately giving you the blueprint and the tools needed to create connections and rebuild relationships so that you can live a happier, healthier, and longer life.
