EPISODE TAKEAWAYS: Top 10 Ways to Find, Maintain, and Grow an Everlasting Connection with Yourself and Humanity: 1. Embrace Radical Presence Be fully here-right now. Let go of the distractions that pull you away from the moment. Breathe deeply. Listen intently. See people, not just their words or actions. Presence is the foundation of connection. 2. Practice Persistent Self-Compassion Treat yourself like you would a dear friend. When you fall, catch yourself with kindness.

When you see the humanity in others, you will never feel separate from it. 10. Remember That You Are Never Alone No matter how isolated you may feel, you belong to this vast, interconnected web of life.
