We must promote connection to overcome loneliness. Loneliness impacts our physical health as well as our emotional health. Having deep relationships and connections with one another is healing. This podcast interviewing Dr. Murphy (former US surgeon general) on loneliness and connection is insightful and timely. I hope you’ll listen, & consider this.

Choose to Dare Greatly
“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood. Who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause. Who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.” Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
Resources for Our Wellbeing
Unlocking Us, by Brené Brown has been one of several podcasts I’ve found helpful. Other resources I have found to be both relevant and helpful for maintaining our wellbeing include: learning how to relax, the importance of building social ties, and the importance of nutrition in maintaining good mental health. If there is interest in these and additional resources, I plan on adding a page to my website dedicated to this. I am available for appointments to help you live your best life in using a comprehensive, integrative, proven and principled approach to counseling.
