HUMAN CONNECTION

In a world where another person is merely a screen touch away, we are more lonely than ever. It seems as though technology brings us closer, but in fact it does nothing but isolate us. Studies show that loneliness has an equivalent risk factor to health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, shortening one?s lifespan by eight years.

We prioritize the health of our bodies, but human connection is just as crucial to our wellbeing. Social interaction helps lower anxiety and reduces the risk of depression. Humans evolved as a society; what was once families and herds has become communities and culture. Human connection is a source of strength.

The wonderful thing about human connection is that it is a limitless energy source. Those who feel more connected have higher self-esteem and empathy. In addition, those who are more likely to think in positive and empowering ways, easily make meaningful connections with others. Human connection is a positive feedback loop that benefits everyone.

Although the convenience of technology has made it easy for us to remain cut off from one another while still in contact, we can regain the strength of human connection by incorporating simple and impactful biohacks into our daily lives.
