Soul Goal #5: Disconnect To Reconnect

Soul Goal #5:

D i s c o n n e c t  T o  R e c o n n e c t

Social media can be an extremely slippery slope for all of us.  There’s points of comparison, inaccurate tellings, and judgements made regularly on all the platforms.  Much of it has to do with our own insecurities and fears whether we want to admit it or not.  And as I type this text, I’m reminded of my own insecurities and fears, too, as this week’s pod episode takes a look at the two opposites:  disconnection and reconnection.  

Disconnect is an almost automatic response to our worlds when we feel threatened, devalued, or unheard.  But if we know that in our disconnected times we actually have the ability to reflect on our personal needs and struggles, reconnection with ourselves and those around us becomes a real possibility.  

True connection with others breeds a healthy mindset and a deep feeling of acceptance for ourselves.  It often times takes the slowing down and conscious choice of disconnecting to find that space (a real paradox there.)  Learning to turn off the comparisons and the self-judgements and switching our internal conversation to one of love and validation is a key part to growth that only we can uncover for ourselves…and only when we are truly ready to meet ourselves.

Dixi and I took on the challenge of leaving social media behind for a full day.  Does the thought of that concept leave you as scared as it did us?  Or does it give you a sense of relief?  This week’s episode takes us down the road of vulnerability once again!

Everyone has a story, and every story matters; let's make our stories count!
