Connection. When we connect with others there is a sense of familiarity and belonging. It is as if we have always known each other. Because we have. We feel safe and secure. There is no need for pretenses or facades. Feeling connected to even one person can be enough to literally save a life. But are all connections good connections? Do connections automatically strengthen with time?
Can you hear me now? When we have to ask this question it is clear that there is a bad connection. Service is unreliable, and we are unable to communicate with the person on the other end. The same is true for our emotional connections. When you are constantly walking away from interactions with someone feeling anger, sadness, or frustration it is time to reevaluate the connection. Chances are it’s poor and you aren’t being heard. Your needs are not being met and both your physical and energy is being depleted. To restore equilibrium you have two choices: you can switch towers or disconnect.
Sometimes all it takes to restore a good connection is to find more effective ways of communicating. Perhaps an open and honest conversation about the problem will be enough for the two of you to work through it together. If either of you is unwilling or unable to work it out then you may need to disconnect. How are your connections? Are there any that need to be repaired? Disconnected?
Love, Peace, & Light,
