Morning Platitude from The GratiDude
It is all about the people.
We must repeat this repeatedly to remind ourselves that the feelings and the messages that we get about separation are illusionary.
Illusionary from a spiritual and emotional standpoint because we can feel the energy of others, and illusionary from a scientific perspective as we know that everything is energy, and there is no space between the energies, simply energy, connecting energy to energy.
Our human bodies and its limited faculties relative to our optic nerves and other senses keep us stuck in this constant struggle of knowing deep down and realizing that unity is both a spiritual and a scientific(and even more so now with quantum theories of entanglement) reality, and being told that we are individuals and all alone.
There is wisdom, truths, and perspectives that occur by people that are experiencing autism and down syndrome during their brief human life experience.
It is fascinating that the clarity and wisdom of a nine-year-old is able to feel the significant difference in the emotions and the perspectives(frequencies) of his friends that are either in the autistic spectrum or suffering the chromosome affliction of Down syndrome, and feel a more authentic sincere and kind connection with these kids then he does kids of his age that do not have different or special needs.
It should make all of us consider who we are inviting to our own parties and how we can include more different types of people in order to make sure that both they are being seen and feeling included and for our own benefit to have a wider range of perspectives and human experiences to draw from during our social gathering.
Yes, including someone in your life, meaning having a strong social connection with them, can significantly contribute to your overall health and well-being, potentially making you healthier by reducing stress, improving mood, and even boosting your immune system; strong social ties are linked to better health outcomes.
Key points about the benefits of social connection:
Reduced stress:
Having supportive friends or family can help you manage stress more effectively, leading to better physical and mental health.
Lower depression risk:
Strong social connections are associated with a decreased risk of depression and anxiety.
Improved immune function:
Studies suggest that social support can positively impact your immune system, helping you recover from illness faster.
Increased life expectancy:
Research shows that people with robust social networks tend to live longer lives.
Even though my example is a little bit degenerate, it is in the same vein of inviting everyone and making sure all types of folks feel included, and this goes back to high school and the crazy parties we would throw inspired by the movie Animal House(Toga Party, anyone?).
I didn’t recall this until I went to the 20th year high school reunion for Pioneer high school back in 2006, and I had the opportunity to chat with an old friend that went back to junior high Mark the Rubik’s cube guru.
Mark has genius intelligence, especially in math and sciences, as I recall, but it would apply to anything that he put his mind to.
He was so much smarter than kids our age that he had some challenges socially because quite simply he projected the prototypical geek. Mark was always kind and genuine, my kind of Dude. He was kind to me and we were friends from the first time we met.
I pulled him aside our Junior year of high school and demanded that he attend our upcoming raucous and beer drenched party or face the consequences ha. There were no consequences just kidding.
Mark thanked me for this invitation 20 years later because it was the first high school party he had been invited to, his first degenerate beer party.
He went to and it opened his eyes that he could go out and hang out on the weekends, and he told me it took his social life to another level in high school. For some strange reason he was thanking me, however I thanked him for coming because without those 500 people, how else could we have destroyed the house and angered every single neighbor within a four-block radius?
It takes a village to throw a raging party aka “A Rager.”
This also applies in our organizations and our businesses where we work, and that making an effort to engage and include the people that we find most difficult to communicate with or that we have the least in common is never a bad idea and it will always foster good energy within your enterprise.
I love this about working with Rob Toomey from TypeCoach because it really lifts the lid off the mystery of communication and collaboration within Businesses by providing practical ways that different personalities can interact effectively.
I get a spiritual kick out of that quite honestly, but don’t tell anybody it’s a business tool…ssshhhhhhhhh!
Look around your life today and invite somebody new to share an experience with you and let them join you in your daily pursuit of your own greatness and attitude of gratitude.
EVERY DAY:
Love
