(upbeat music)

00:04.140 --> 00:05.810
- Some people think that being connected

00:05.810 --> 00:07.860
is about connecting with
other people around them,

00:07.860 --> 00:09.010
which is true,

00:09.010 --> 00:11.240
but it's also about being
connected with yourself.

00:11.240 --> 00:12.520
If I'm not doing well,

00:12.520 --> 00:14.910
I'm not going to be well
for those around me.

00:14.910 --> 00:17.157
Vulnerability, as Brené Brown would say,

00:17.157 --> 00:20.610
"It sounds like truth and
it feels like courage."

00:20.610 --> 00:21.540
It takes a lot of strength,

00:21.540 --> 00:24.140
a lot of grit and determination.

00:24.140 --> 00:25.769
Connection is intimacy.

00:25.769 --> 00:27.770
A play on the word intimacy is,

00:27.770 --> 00:29.350
into me you see.

00:29.350 --> 00:30.480
So it only happens to the level

00:30.480 --> 00:32.330
we allow other people to see into us.

00:32.330 --> 00:33.800
We need to challenge ourself

00:33.800 --> 00:37.540
and kind of put ourselves
out there in vulnerable ways,

00:37.540 --> 00:40.780
such as having that conversation
with a family member,

00:40.780 --> 00:44.249
and doing that in a loving,
and direct, and respectful way.

00:44.249 --> 00:45.920
If you bring this intention

00:45.920 --> 00:48.051
to your next conversations
with loved ones,

00:48.051 --> 00:52.700
to listen, to share, be
curious about each other,

00:52.700 --> 00:53.930
joys and pains,

00:53.930 --> 00:56.460
you will find true connection.

00:56.460 --> 00:58.763
And remember, we are stronger together.
