Connect More With People Face To Face Not Online

Ever since digital communication has taken over, we prefer reaching out to people online. Sit back and see how you prefer real-world conversations to energise yourself and your relationships. Over the last few years, technology – social media in particular – seems to have become more attractive for our interactions, as compared to the real world. We are secluding ourselves from people and connecting online instead.

1. Do you enjoy meeting people in real life or prefer talking to them online? Do you connect with more people digitally? Even when sitting with family, are you often caught up with someone on the phone?  
2. Technology helps you to communicate quickly with more people. It cannot connect you to their emotions or unspoken messages which you can gather when you meet someone in person.  
3. Consciously choose when to engage in online interactions, and more importantly when to log off. Have face-to-face conversations instead, as they are vital to meaningful relationships. They create powerful bonds which boost your happiness, harmony and wellbeing. 
4. Meditate daily to strengthen your qualities of compassion, love and kindness so that you are more sensitive to people’s needs. Allocate time for self, family, friends, social gatherings and for participating in social causes.
