Are you truly connected?
Technology has given us the ability to connect with far-flung communities all over the world. We have seen the speed of connection accelerate beyond anything remotely possible even a few years ago. On the flip side we have seen privacy eroded and become competitive and self-conscious all at the same time. We believe everything published even if not true, or nothing, even if it is. History magically changes over time until we don’t know any more what is real and what is fake even if it is the image or video of a “human”.
If that wasn’t enough, there is a growing mental health crisis amongst young, old and in between squarely caused by social media, overwhelm, disconnection, self-doubt and comparison-itis not to mention the toxic food we consume which is either highly processed or grown in contaminated soils. We connect globally but hide behind a screen and barely make eye-contact with real people in front of us. We rely on Google and Netflix to tell us what we should watch or who we should listen to. The algorithm is trained on our past, not our future.
Do you know what it is that you actually want from life? Are you on track or veering off the proverbial cliff because you are letting others dictate your next steps? Have you ever looked back to look forward?
I have seen people get caught up in the busy-ness of screen-based overload, live faster lives that slow down success, and get more and more dis-connected as time goes on. Often they don’t realise this is happening until it is too late. I see more lonely young people than ever before and read about suicide way more often than is comfortable. Our energetic connection with those around us and the greater community are like mycelium is to trees, we all contribute, with each connection feeding the greater network. We simply cannot let it erode or our society will suffer.
You owe it to yourself to create the future for the life you are here to live. I’m here to help you take a breath, truly think about what you want and where you are going. Together we will build a robust action plan to reach your goals and develop new connection skills to make it all easy and without any of the awkward bits.
