This podcast is all about learning to FEEL GOOD, even when life DOESN'T. Today, we are talking about LONELINESS. Learning how to understand why we feel LONELY is something we have to practice--it doesn't come easy, especially if we were never modeled it growing up. The key is understanding the following:
Humans are designed for connection. Emotional pain is like the car lights on the dashboard--they are giving us data. It's up to us to choose how we want to respond. Emotions are data, not fact. They may be an indication where we feel disconnected from others.
Everyone has a different understanding of connection based on their earliest development.
Understanding this enables us to stay flexible in how we respond to what we might perceive as a disconnection from someone we love or care for.
