Episode 1: Human Connection

Into The Light with Crazy Cait - Episode 1: Human Connection

Do you know the secret to being happy, successful and productive? 

Human Connection. 

Our brains have evolved a network that was created for socializing, and in 2020, we all lost so much of it due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and not surprisingly, our physical and mental health suffered as a result.  

In this episode of Into The Light with Crazy Cait, I will walk you through what I went through in the early days of the pandemic, what I learned about the importance of human connection, and how I am choosing to cope during these challenging times.

Let's freakin' send it!

Notes to help you Tap Into Your Inner Healer:

• In March 2020, my business, In Light Hyperbarics closed, and uncertainty of the future piled onto the stress I was already feeling from being burned out. 
• The closure, at first, was actually welcome change, allowing me to get out of town and recharge. 
• I quickly learned that getting out of the normal routine can create more stress on the body, causing some folks to start overeating, binge drinking, and moving less. 
• I started feeling helpless during the time off, going from full schedule to no schedule, created a sense of emptiness, a lack of purpose and without human connection, negatively impacted my mental health.
• In 2020 the way we connected with the other humans has completely changed, and we need to be aware of that change and be more proactive to find that connection.
• In the face of a negative situation, I try to keep a positive mindset, I try to find the blessings and be grateful for what I do have, which opens me up to more and more blessings.
• Even in a pandemic, you can Say Yes To Your Life, and get over your fear of things that make you uncomfortable, and by leaning into your people.
• Saying yes to my life was remembering that my purpose is to feed wellness for my community, and realized my business can be about human connection just as much as it can be about healing.
• You can shift your mindset to find light in the darkness, and you have the power to navigate yourself out of the situations that are not serving you. 

Feed Your Wellness Challenge:

1. Do not take human connection for granted anymore!
2. Thank Yourself. You made it through one of the most difficult years in a century, be thankful.
