This person woke up feeling anxiety. He felt isolated and he craved connection. He took action and asked for help. This simple act of showing his vulnerability gave him smiles from strangers, waves from people walking past. These random acts of kindness empowered the shift from loneliness to feeling connected. He realised that reaching out for connection was the antidote to anxiety and isolation. Photo by Matt Collamer on Unsplash
Under current restrictions on socialising, travelling and exercising, social connection is difficult. The rising number of COVID cases across Sydney brings home our vulnerability to this illness. Our lives are susceptible. It is reasonable to be anxious. This article discusses 7 ways to activate the antidote for these feelings and relieve the pressure on emotional and mental health.
This person knows what he needs. Do you?
Many people fear showing their vulnerability. Feeling weak, lost, isolated, or fearful, we want to shrink from view. Exposing our vulnerability in public can be risky. What if you had nothing left to lose? Is the simple act of seeking support possible for you? Your weakness can be your strength. The trick is to view weakness from a different angle.
- Realising you are weak and exhausted gives you permission to rest.
- With guidance you can find your way out of isolation and into the sunshine.
- Being courageous can help fear to disappear.
- Seeing anxiety as vulnerability empowers you to change.
Admitting that we need human connection is a big realisation.
It is a powerful experience to have someone listen to your story without interrupting. Shifting the balance from loneliness to connection can be lifesaving.
Loneliness and isolation can cause spiritual and mental depression. The antidote is connection.
Connecting with other people can be difficult. Talking with a counsellor makes sense. It can break the cycle of being alone. Working with a trusted person can help you to make positive changes in your life.
