How to Live in This New World

Good morning Friends , as I’m writing to you today it is all too familiar the loss of our connections that seems out of reach and then in turn communication becomes all too uncomfortable between one another.

Whether you are in a relationship, or you are connecting with friends or loved ones, this time has been a huge challenge for everyone.

I speak about how we have relied so much on social media which is good because in the past we would go out and no one could reach us until we returned home. Gone are the days we could feel totally free if we wanted our space for a little while and then on our return we would see the light flashing on the answering machine and then pick up our voice messages at our leisure .

I believe there is a great deal of impatience all around and no one seems to really want to connect LIVE and when you do everyone is either on the way out …in the car or coming home but we forget how to just have a quality time with one another and most of us are so exhausted when we finally reach our home we have no energy left.

It saddens me to think that we have become at the liberty of our phones , computers technology. It’s as if we are hiding behind real communication ; which I feel is becoming a lost art.

If we could just learn to take more time for ourselves then when we reach out to our friends , neighbors , family and loved ones it would be so much easier.

I get really frustrated when I enter a Cafe for example ; I feel as if I have come to a library. Everyone has a coffee or drink beside their computer and earphones on and no one is coherent and they plant themselves down for hours on end

Once again we used to go to the library when we needed to do research or study.

I never see two people engaged in conversation anymore .

I see two people hidden behind their screens on laptop; I often wonder if maybe they are communicating via computer instead of face to face conversation.

What is happening friends ? Are we are losing our emotions our senses no one communicates on a regular basis anymore.

Suicide rates are up even more and I think there are numerous reasons but not having any human connections doesn’t make it easier .How can we prevent these tragedies?

We need a balance friends !!!

There is no balance with technology. It feels like the old phrase’ my way or the highway’ . If we don’t conform to this new world, we will be left by the wayside and just lost in our yesterday world until it is too late.

Today I am going out into nature and going to ride my bike and breathe in and out somewhere where I don’t need to wear a mask for a few moments and feel the Universes life force energy so I can continue to have hope and evolve in this ever changing world .

I have to tell you friends; we can make our world a healthy one even in these challenging times .

Create , dance shout, laugh …no one laughs out loud any more they just type it out LOL

If you know someone who is alone ,or an elderly person is walking by ,say hello ,make eye contact even when we are wearing mask we can still say hello and maybe we can’t show a smile, but you CAN smile with your eyes. Make eye contact.

Ask a neighbor if they need anything from the store.

Just like that famous song Barbra Streisand sings ’ People Need People! ’

Have a great day friends. Make it a beautiful one.
