I mentioned that we recently moved to Australia, and I am in the middle of finding my new besties. Let me tell you, it's not always easy!
As humans, we are wired for connection, and it plays such an important role in our mental health.
I am so grateful for the in-person connections I have with family, new friends, and even strangers I chat with throughout the day. I'm also thankful for technology like FaceTime, WhatsApp, and Marco Polo that help me stay connected with loved ones across the globe.
And connection doesn't have to be just with people! I am absolutely in love with the parrots, cockatoos, flying foxes, and gorgeous blossoms surrounding me here in Australia. Spending time in nature can be a beautiful way to calm our nervous systems.
Connecting with something bigger than ourselves can bring peace, too. For me, that's God. For you, it might be the universe or something else entirely.
Friends, connection matters! What's one way you can connect this weekend? I'd love to hear about it!
