CONNECT - A Coach For Your Heart

In order to connect, you just do what you've been doing since you were a little kid.  For me to try to teach you to connect is a little like me trying to teach you how to walk. It's something you've learned to do since you were a little kid.  What I have taught you in the first two steps, Watch and experience, give you a foundation underneath what you already know. Your ability to connect with another person just became more accurate. Your instinct sharper, your observations clearer, and your presence more grounded and accessible.

Your connection with another person is stronger than it had been before.  So the definition of connection has changed. At least in its perspective. When you connect through this process, you are not connecting with them, you are allowing them to connect with you.  So connecting is not something that you are doing with them. You are not pushing your message, you are not introducing yourself, you are not trying to bring your thoughts to the table or the experience. Rather, you are allowing your presence to meet theirs.

Specifically, you are inviting their presence to meet yours.  After you watch somebody, and through the end of the process of experiencing their energy, you have opened yourself to their presence. Connection is not an informative exchange; rather, it is an allowance and embrace of their message and they are presents. What do you have establish is now a willingness and a readiness to except the message they offer.

Connection is an invitation to be their genuine self, to share freely themselves with you.  This requires a sense of warmth and trust that you gain through the first two steps. Correctly, connection is almost reflexive in the flow of the spirit of togetherness between you and that other person.  It's worth mentioning that everything you just read is consistent with the steps and attitudes that address and inhabit the processes of emotional intelligence. These components, particularly in this segment of the WECARE process, establishes your first verbal offering to their first words.

Your observations and attitudes they have come forward through the first two steps engaged themselves here.  And the emotional foundation you have establish engages itself between you and another person or you and the group of people you encounter.  And there's somewhat of a review that is interesting to visit prior to this step. Specifically, this step let you know how acquainted you really are with, for instance, your judgments of others. Or how well you know yourself in your biases and attitudes that shape your responses. Because connecting can be so reflexive, the first two steps prior to this one resets your emotional barometer.

When you connect, you will find yourself slightly more deliberate in your response.  But this pause, this half step of thought prior to your engagement, can open yourself to a greater level of acceptance of the other person.  To connect with someone, truly after you take in their energy, embodies the connection from our heart, the deepest chamber of our loving potential for another person.  No matter their race, socioeconomic background, political leanings, or preferences that may be prerequisite to your encounter, consciousness of these three steps allows you to momentarily push aside any prejudgments that you may have and allow the fundamentals of acceptance and openness to be your guide to a sincere interpersonal connection.
