27 分钟So here's my question.
How connected or disconnected have you felt to yourself, to your friends, to your family, your loved ones, to people who really matter to you over the course of this year?
Right?
This has been a very challenging year on the connection front for so many coming out of the last three years.
I think so many of us just figured we'd drop back into our relationships with the same level of depth and zest and joy.
But for many, reconnecting has actually been a real struggle and for a wide variety of reasons, from technology to the state of the world, and really just all the things that are swirling around us and the fact that we are still emerging from a season of profound disruption and trying to figure out how to be with each other again.
Which is why in part three of our special month long year end reflection series, we're tapping into the wisdom of the good life buckets to better understand how this last year has has impacted us in three critical areas, vitality, connection, and contribution.
And today we're doing a deep dive into your connection bucket.
Now, if you missed our opening episode in this special bonus year end reflection series or last week's part two on the vitality bucket, you'll definitely want to cue those up to listen to as well, because I share the basic model of the good life buckets and why they're so powerful in helping us both understand how the key areas of our lives are doing and also giving us the information needed to really look ahead and make whatever changes or shifts we want to in order to come back to life in all areas of life in the year to come.
And then last week, we went deep into the topic of vitality, or your vitality bucket, what it is and is not.
And I shared a powerful journaling exercise to tap as a year end reflection and planning tool.
And you can find links to those first two year end reflection episodes in the show notes.
Today, in part three of our year end reflection series, we're diving into your connection bucket, asking what it can tell us about this last year, about the state of your relationships.
Some of this stuff is going to be maybe fairly obvious, but there's probably a bunch that you haven't thought about, too.
And then we'll explore what I call the five clarifying questions that I'll invite you to ask yourself and journal on.
And then I'll share my own personal assessment for my connection bucket this year, how I'm feeling about the state of my own relationships and what I'm planning to do about it in the year to come.
So excited to share this third installment of our year end reflection series on the connection bucket.
I'm Jonathan Fields, and this is good Life project.
Okay, so let's talk about this thing we call the connection bucket.
Right?
