As you connect with the people you care about, remember also to connect with yourself

We are connecting and rebuilding connections with friends and loved ones as the world opens up again. Many of us are coming from a different place from a year ago and want to change how we connect and show up going forward.

Connect with and show up for the people you care about AND most importantly connect with yourself. What works best for you in these relationships? Are there any boundaries you want to set down? What brings you joy and how does that fit in with connecting outwardly to others? 

Be curious as you navigate reconnection. Listen to your body when it feels tired, overwhelmed or unsafe.  It’s ok to reconnect to others the way that works for you. Follow your pace. Step back if you need a break and some time for yourself. Step forward when you feel energized and social. The more you can connect with your body and your feelings, the stronger connections you will have with others. Connecting with yourself connects you with others.

If you are feeling stuck about connection to yourself or others, reach out and set up a coaching session. I’d love to help.
