Open to Love

There are several life events that force a person to close off and isolate. Especially with the environmental set-up we live at the moment where families are divided, living separately and the full time jobs we hold also. All these create gaps and space in our interactions and communications.

Then when the time comes to connect and reach out, we hesitate and pull back. We get nervous. We think: I didn’t meet the person for such long time. What shall I do. How can I talk. What do I do.

We long for those interactions and intimate meet-ups. That is because our brains have been created to attach and connect. When that is taken away or is not that active in our day-to-day life, we replace it with other attachments like our mental addictions, social media and others.

So if you find yourself isolated, lonely, depressed, bored or empty, open your eyes and look around you. Reach out to the people you are comfortable with. Get involved in meet-ups and gatherings. Go out and just say hello to neighbors or others in the market. Or grab your phone and call the person you miss to chat with for sometime. And see how you can open yourself up.
