[Practice] Feeling Connected: A Writing Exercise to Foster Connection and Kindness
Time Required:
10 minutes. Try to do this practice at least once per week, selecting a different example each time
How To Do it:
- Try to think of a time when you felt a strong bond with someone in your life. Choose a specific example of an experience you had with this person when you felt especially close and connected to them. This could be a time you had a meaningful conversation, gave or received support, experienced a great loss or success together, or witnessed a historic moment together.
- Once you’ve thought of a specific example, write a short paragraph about what happened. In particular, consider the ways in which this experience made you feel close and connected to the other person.
