Did you know that the #1 human need…..is emotional connection?
From the very beginning of life and all throughout, we are literally hardwired to need (require) emotional connection. Yet, in an age of technology, people working long hours, having a variety of responsibilities, there has never been a time where we, as a world, are MORE emotionally disconnected!
And I know how easy it can be to allow that to happen. But I am also very aware of the costs.
I know what it’s like to focus on a career, a family, and waking up one day realizing how hard it’s been to navigate life on your own. I know what it’s like to wonder if it would ever be possible to have a healthy, happy, fulfilling and intimate relationship. Even for couple’s today, the challenges can also be present. It can be easy to slip away and get lost in work, television or the internet once you are home.
I also know what it’s like to be in a deeply nourishing relationship, that feeds your heart and soul, and allows you to breathe easier, because you are loved by that special someone. And when YOU are deeply nourished, your life can unfold in a much easier, and even more miraculous ways.
As a woman who began her career in the mid 70’s, it was easy to get caught up in the responsibilities of a job. I was one of the trailblazers back then, so it was important to be ‘on top of my game.’ And, my mentors, whom to this day I am grateful for, were mostly men.
And, at the risk of stirring the pot a bit….I became more of a man.
And, then I would come home, and still be the man. Not the best position to be in for experiencing a loving, nurturing, intimate relationship. Wasn’t going to happen.
And, eventually, as you might guess, that marriage fell apart.
And, one of the big lessons I began to explore was how to be ME, be more authentic and feminine in my relationship, and still be successful in business.
For me, I eventually shifted careers. But that’s not to say I could not have continued doing what I had been doing, with a few adjustments.
I also learned how to shift gears and be more of a woman in my relationship. That one didn’t come quite as easy!
So, for those of you that are still wondering how to welcome love into their life…I’d love to have a ‘heart to heart’ with you. I’d love to know what’s been happening and share my thoughts of how you can add more emotional connection into your life….and ultimately attract your Beloved!
But for now, whether you are single or in a relationship…….find ways to be more connected. Spend time with your significant other…or if you are single, reach out to a friend and have special friend time. And if you are new to an area, get involved with a meet-up group or volunteer for an organization that has a cause that matters to you.
AND GIVE OUT LOTS OF HUGS!
It’s pure, easy, cheap and very rewarding therapy!
Hope you are having a great day!
