Welcome to the inaugural episode of The ReConnect Podcast with Ganel-Lyn Condie, sponsored by The Anasazi Foundation! We are so glad you have found us and hope that you will find encouragement and practical ways to reconnect with your loved ones and yourself here.

As humans, we are all wired for connection, but in the world we live in, it is easy to lose sight of ourselves and each other. Too often, when we need each other the most, we feel the least connected and able to reach out.
 
This can tend to happen in the daily grind of family life, but there are 3 transition times during your day which are opportunities for reconnection just waiting to happen: getting everyone out the door, coming home, and going to bed. Take a look at the dynamics of your family members during those times, how connections are established (or not established), and everyone’s stress levels.
 
If you felt like you were short with one of your kids or missed an opportunity for genuine connection with them as they told you about your day because you were distracted by something going on in your own mind, be honest with them, circle back, and try the interaction again. You don’t always have to tell them why you were distracted in detail, but even your simple admission that you are frustrated because of something someone said to you will let them in enough to establish that connection that was previously missed.

Think about some examples in your own life or daily routine where reconnection can occur. Personalize it to your specific family situation and structure. Perhaps you can pick up a connection that has been strained for a long time, practice forgiveness, change the narrative, or just strengthen the relationships you have or want to have.

As you start this journey, keep this quote in mind: “Work towards that which matters to you.”
