How to Feel Connected

It’s easy to feel disconnected from what is going on around you in today’s fast-paced world. 【小题1】 You can get in touch and feel connected, however, by following the tips below：

Consider why you feel disconnected.

Knowing what is making you feel disconnected can help you choose the best ways to address the problem. Ask yourself: Are you keeping yourself occupied with work too much? Do you rely on electronic communication instead of face-to-face communication? Do you lack friendships that are satisfying? 【小题2】

Interact with people in person.

Technology is a great way to stay in touch, but sometimes you need to spend time with other people in person. 【小题3】 You can also take steps to feel more connected by making small talk with strangers who are sharing parts of your day.

【小题4】

You may never know how to improve your relationship unless you ask the right questions. Your loved ones could feel shy about telling you what they need, so asking them opens the doors that can give you some insight on what you can do. Learning this information can help to strengthen your bond.

Show your commitment to your loved ones.

Simply showing up and being there for your loved ones says a lot about how much you value your relationships. 【小题5】 Attending family events, or simply visiting someone once a week can help to strengthen your relationship and keep it strong.

Show appreciation.

A simple “thank you” goes a very long way. Unfortunately, it is something that people who are close often take for granted. Telling someone you appreciate their time, love, and efforts can strengthen your bond and help you to become more connected.

These four good habits will improve some aspects of your life.

【小题1】. In truth, it’s not the best way to get things done. Instead of jumping from one thing to the next like a ping-pong ball, stick with one task as long as you can. That concentrated time you spend on one thing will be far more productive. 【小题2】.

Imagine all things in your home have a place where they live. For example, toys go into a basket when they’re not in use. 【小题3】. If you regularly (定期的) have lots of things that have nowhere to go, it may be time to make some hard choices about what you really want to keep.

Get up at the same time every day, preferably all seven days a week. A consistent (一致的) sleep schedule helps form your body’s circadian rhythm (昼夜节律). Sleeping late on the weekends is not bad. But it feels better to get regular rests every day.

Saying yes to everything can be a difficult habit to break for most of us. But learning how to draw a line is one of the best things you can do for yourself. You have the power not to agree to help everyone else with their problems. 【小题5】. Your time is just as valuable as everyone else’s.
