Making a Human Connection
Life is a practice, we practice the skills that we need to develop in the direction to be the ultimate versions of ourselves everyday.
Whatever the impact, change, hero that we desire to be, we work towards that and push every single day.
Along our journey it is inevitable that we interact with people, family members, friends, enemies, employers, potential partners, salespeople, or complete strangers.
It is through the connections that we make, the bonds we form, the relationships we build upon and the impressions that we leave that change the world around us.
Since the beginning of our existence we were built to fight for survival, Humans are naturally negative beings.
75% of our brains naturally thinking and reacting in a negative fashion.
The first thing to keep in mind whether making connections, creating a morning routine, figuring out a plan of health for yourself, designing a business, anything in life,.. We are always either
Staying Even “maintaining” - Takes work
Elevating “doing more everyday” - Takes More work, consistency and a driving force
Or
Falling Behind - By not staying up on our positive habits, rituals and routines in line with who we want to be.
Instilling positive habits, staying up on our rituals, habits and everything we are doing to launch in a positive direction everyday from the smallest to largest detail is difficult for many. For myself, I personally have to write on mirrors to remind myself, create triggers to remind myself, everyday is work just to stay even and even more so to elevate.
Like everything else, making connections will take practice, everyday, so use these strategies and positive habits on as large of a scale as you need. Practice and launch in a positive direction in making great connections in your own life.
Hearing vs Not Hearing -
Get all necessary information up front by being your open and genuine self.
The key here is not only being “Nice” but having a positive and open mindset prior to an encounter.
This is a skill I have been particularly focusing on being better at
“Take 60 seconds prior to responding in conversation in an effort to be happier and more grateful”
Find gratitude in the next conversation (Happy to be working with “x”, either way I will be learning something, there will be some outcome etc.) or interaction. Gratitude will put you in a positive mindset and allow for positive engagement and allow for you to actually clearly listen. I do that before my sesions with clients. I say that I want to be of service and do my best to help them so that they can be successful
Recognition/ acknowledgement -
Part of our fight or flight mechanism is to worry about ourselves first, our safety and become self absorbed.
