Physically Distant and Emotionally Connected

Thu, 28 May 2020 19:50:16 GMT

This week has been a bit overwhelming for most. Lots of transition and change for the majority of us. There has been one consistent throughout the past week...no matter who I spoke with this one thing continued to come up.

Social Distancing

My clients, my friends, my family... everyone I know is struggling with this idea of social distancing and the impact has been significant. Most are sharing feeling isolated, disconnected, fearful, and alone. Increased stress. Increased tension. Stuck in a state of being "on edge".

Being on edge allowed us to stay alive when we lived in the wild...but this is not how we navigate our world at this juncture. The uncertainty can be overwhelming. It can. But it does not have to be. We can choose. We get to decide.

I believe its time for a massive reframe. Social distancing does not mean that we have to isolate, It does not mean that we have to be alone. It does not mean that we can no longer engage with our friends and family.

In contrast, this is actually a time for reconnection. True connection. You know...the kind that many of used to have? Now is the time to actually use the phone or Facetime or Skype or Zoom -whatever your preference- and begin engaging with one another. Listen and respond to the concerns, to the fears, to the frustration, to the worry...but also to the fun, to the camaraderie, to the innovations, to each others' ideas. It's time to share recipes, homeschooling hacks, and tips to pass the time.

You see, we can be physically distant from one another while being emotionally connected. The connection comes from our conversations and our interactions. We are so fortunate to live in a time with such amazing technology. Technology that allows us to connect from afar. So let's do just that- let's maintain our physical distance to hinder the spread of this virus while we emotionally connect and support one another with laughter, joy, and hope.

Much Love & Many Blessings,
