Triggering Connection




"If you feel isolated, then reach out
and do one random act of kindness."
Steve Nobel 

We may find it too challenging to put our escalating emotions into words.  Our fear of being judged may prevent us from opening a door that could let light in.  The thought of giving voice to our fears can be overwhelming in itself.

We can create a phrase like "I'm not doing very well," as a signal of distress to those who care and support us. This can offer ease without the necessity of deep explanation. There are times conversations can lead to increased drama; whereas, a friend's hug can simply uplift. 

To get out of our inner turmoils, we can extend a helping hand.  Whether we do it behind the scenes or with lavish flair, action pulls us forward.  Simplicity, such as returning someone else's shopping cart can trigger connection to lift our spirits dramatically higher.
