WITH CHRISTINE HASSLER

This is as damaging as smoking 15 cigarettes a day!

I recently learned from my girlfriend Shasta Nelson that feeling disconnected is as damaging to our health as smoking 15 cigarettes and day, is twice as harmful as being obese, and is as destructive on our bodies as being lifelong alcoholics. OMG!

As someone who has had challenges making friends and feeling a sense of belonging in the past, these statistics really got my attention. Today my life is full of incredible friendships that are absolutely a lifeline for me, especially during moments when I have felt alone.

Much like hunger tells us when we need food and exhaustion tells us when we need sleep, loneliness tells us when we long for more connection.

In response to my blog last week about feeling alone many of you have asked:

  • How do I make new friends?
  • How do I foster deeper intimacy and trust in the friendships I have now?
  • How do I let go of friendships that I know are no longer aligned?

To answer these questions, I called up my gal Shasta who is the best expert when it comes to making and maintaining healthy and enriching friendships.  In our talk, she gave incredible insight and advice regarding how to heal loneliness and build awesome friendships that I highly encourage you to listen to. Go here to download our 20-minute conversation (and hear me cry at the end when I talk about my soul sisters).

I know that after you hear from Shasta, you are going to want more “how-to’s” on cultivating local friendships that add value to your life. To give you more, she’s offering her first class free from her 13-session curriculum from “The Friendships You’ve Always Wanted! Learning a Better Way to Meet-Up, Build-Up, and Break-Up with your Friends.”

In this hour-packed audio session, Shasta teaches us what the four most common forms of loneliness are, what five circles of friendship we need, and the two most important things we can do now to ensure we invite more connection in to our lives.

Consider what you do when you feel loneliness.  Do you distract yourself? Judge yourself? Isolate more or put on a mask? Ignore the feeling completely?

It is time to stop trying to talk yourself out of why you don’t have the energy, time, or courage to connect, and instead actually just acknowledge that your soul longs for more connection!

This is content you won’t regret making the time for.  We often think we don’t need to learn more about friendship, but few of us have ever studied it and put it to practice in our lives in ways that really create the relationships we crave.

The FREE class is Thursday, September 5th , but will be recorded and mailed to you if you miss it. Go here to sign up.

I am a stand for you having a fulfilling life on all levels. Surrounding yourself with quality and nurturing friends that have your back and call you forward to honor yourself is absolutely 100% necessary.  Without my friends I would not be who I am or able to do the work I do.

In friendship,
