Did you walk with a friend this month to relish
the change of seasons?
When was the last time you called a friend
without making an appointment first?
Have you dined out for a meal—without your
phone on the table?
Has technology taken over your work life and
your private life?
We are living
through something I like to call “the conversion of the evolution of the human
being.” Technology is very quickly turning us into a burned out, self-absorbed,
anxiety-ridden population.
We must consciously turn
it off and hit refresh. Often.
“Without personal meaning, you’ll start to wear down
from relentlessly throwing yourself into the churn and pulse of things. You
can’t sustain this kind of disconnected, meaningless work for very long. – Steve Errey, “How to Tell Your
Boss Your Completely Overwhelmed,” Fast Company
The more we focus on
what makes us human, the more apt we are to create and innovate rather than
follow; the better our relationships will be at home and in the workplace.
Better interactions
with our colleagues allows for all of us to be human again.
Allow yourself to be
you. Be joyful. Have open dialogue with
others. Volunteer, go to a museum, or simply say hello.
What makes us human?
Emotion, empathy,
compassion memories,
human relationships, human connection, kindness and love.
