Seven Secrets to Connecting with Others - Michaiel Patrick Bovenes

Listen

Description

As spiritual beings grounded in oneness, how do we overcome the tendency to feel separated while in human form?

In this practical talk, Michaiel Patrick Bovenes shares reminders for finding connection.

Connecting with others depends on how we are being:

  1. Be open and present
  2. Be curious rather than critical
  3. Be understanding
  4. Be vulnerable - "consciously uncomfortable"
  5. Own your value, realizing that you matter.
  6. Seek the good in others
  7. Be discerning - discover early if it's not a good fit

Tips for practical application.

  1. Before Socializing - Set your intention and lift your energy if needed – listen to favorite music, call a friend, engage with humor. Feeling good before socializing makes you more attractive to others.
  2. Assume everyone is already your friend, then you don’t have to break the ice.
  3. Explore common interests with other people and join local groups
