CONNECTED: self

In the second week of our series, Connected, we’ll explore what it means to connect with ourselves. We’ll reflect on how to author our own story with intention and attention.

When we’re disconnected, life can feel like it’s happening to us—but when our story and our actions align with our values and deepest truths, we experience greater confidence, purpose, and well-being. Self-connection is the foundation of living authentically and to feeling connected to everything else.

READINGS

“Life is about relationships . . . the relationships we have with ourselves, with others, with our communities, the earth, and life itself. Our experience of life is defined by the quality of these relationships. The path to being a better worker, partner, or parent begins by discovering and following our own truth first and foremost. When you’re right with yourself, you’re right with the world. This is why connection theory starts with connection to the self.”

“Across all contexts, the payoff of self-connection is the sense of feeling truly and exquisitely alive…fully engaged with the life you lead, and welcoming every moment. Your body sings, your mind soars, and you inhabit a world of the most profound and lasting satisfaction.”
