Hey, my friends,
So for the past weeks, I wasn’t able to share my letters with you as usual during the weekends.
?
Well, I wasn’t literally online due to certain things that came up personally
But I was happy I used my time off here very well though.
So, I traveled to the Midwest here in Nigeria for a program and I would say I was happy I did.
I got to learn more about myself and became more open to connecting physically with people I met from diverse regions.
?
Connecting with these individuals at the event that took me to the Midwest (Benin City in Nigeria) made me learn more about the way I communicate with people and my confidence level as well.
?
Today, with social media taking most of our time, we feel that we are more connected, in the virtual sense. But most times, we feel alone.
?
This is why you need to create time to bond outside of social media with people around you.
It helps you understand yourself more and boosts your esteem and your communication style.
?
“Of all the things that wisdom provides to help one live one’s entire life in happiness, the greatest so far is friendship.”
–Epicurus, ancient Greek philosopher
You need to make more effort to increase real-world connections as you are also doing in the online space.
?
This will help you know how to carry yourself whether online or offline when opportunities call, get seen and heard by people knowing what you do and how they can help as well.
?
You could be asking, “Why do I even need to connect with people?”
Well, here are 3 benefits as it pertains to helping you personally or your career
?
? IT INCREASES YOUR SELF-ESTEEM
Investing in healthy relationships helps to increase your level of self-esteem and boost your confidence as well.
?
It improves your quality of living, gives you a greater purpose, and also people to enjoy this life with.
Being able to connect with others helps you to become more trusting and builds this sense of belonging and purpose and improves your general mood. Now say goodbye to “negativity”
?
?
? IT STRENGTHENS YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM:

You might be asking, why is this a benefit? Well, it is.
Your connection with people affects your physical health in one way or the other. Healthily connecting with others helps to strengthen your Immune system, helps your body fight inflammation, decreases suicidal thoughts, etc
?
Studies?have revealed a lack of social connection can be one of the leading causes of obesity, smoking, and high blood pressure.?
So learn to associate with others around you or wherever you go. It helps your body as well
?
? IT CREATES A SENSE OF BALANCE FOR YOUR MENTAL HEALTH:
Imagine a world where you are the only BEING existing, how would you feel?
You could die of loneliness stress and depression.
Having people who support and encourage you makes the world fit for us all to survive and live longer.
?
Now, these people around you are people you should connect with and build lasting relationships with.
Making that single decision to connect decreases anxiety, loneliness, and stress and increases encouragement and motivation when you are feeling low whether in your personal life or career.
What better antidote to loneliness and anxiety than this?
?
So in a nutshell, you weren’t created to be an ISLAND
The world is filled with multitudes of individuals. You shouldn’t struggle to connect with everyone.
But find people who resonate with your values and purpose. Also, be open to connecting with others who want to be in your circle. You need people in your life.
And this helps build a sense of balance for your life, career, and health in general.
Do let me know in the comment about other benefits of connecting with people.
