The simple yet delicious, joyous feeling of connection.
The glow you just cannot avoid when you connect to something that feels utterly right to you; when you meet someone who makes your heart sing; when you talk about your passion project.
These moments are pure magic.
I am still glowing with joy following such an inspiring, enlivening event over the weekend. I was surrounded by a community of people who were showing up with their full authentic motivations and capabilities.
Their creativity and courage was inspiring.
Research from Stanford University tells us, "social connection creates a positive feedback loop of social, emotional and physical well-being; higher self-esteem and empathy; better emotion and regulation skills" (The Science of Social Connection)
Connection has a ripple effect much wider than we can imagine; when we show up as our full authentic selves, the feeling is contagious.
How could you bring more connection into your day? Could you walk a little slower to the tube, breathe a little more deeply before you go to bed?
