Human beings need connection.
We all want to be seen and heard and have our experience acknowledged and validated. We want to know that we are not alone, that there is someone that we can turn to, talk to and lean on when things are hard.
R U OK Day is a great reminder of the importance of having those moments of connection with the people in our lives. Have you checked in with the important people in your life? Do you know how they are and what is going on for them right now? Who could you reach out to today?
Or maybe you are in need of that connection. Maybe you need to feel seen and heard and to know that you are not alone. Do the people in your life know how you really are? Who could you reach out to? Could you tell them you are not ok?
Sometimes life has taught us it’s not safe to reach out, or that it’s not ok to be vulnerable, or maybe we don’t know who to reach out to, or how to even go about expressing what we are feeling or going through.
R U Ok day is a prompt to be a little vulnerable, to share what’s really going on and to remember that it’s ok to not be ok, just don’t do it alone.
