Practicing Courage #5: A mindset shift for greater connection

What happens when you begin to shift your attention outwardly to the ways in which we are connected and support one another? 

This in itself can be a question to explore and experiment with over time. 

Today’s practice will invite you to use your imagination to foster a mindset of connection and interdependence.

For many, a shift to focusing on connection can bring with it numerous benefits.
 
 Here’s a couple of points that highlight this:

1. When we over-focus on ourselves it narrows our possibilities, our perspective, and can often lead to isolation, pain, and suffering
2. When we feel connected it expands possibilities, our perspective, and we often experience wellbeing. And this sense of connection, and interconnection is something that we can access through practice.

Did you find today's practice valuable? Remember, courage is contagious. If you know someone who would benefit from today’s practice please share.
