Connection, Disconnection, or Reconnection

UPDATED 03/09/2025

Connection is how human beings thrive. Most of us have strong relationships, but we definitely have some that have wavered or even fallen apart. The best connection is when we find relationships that seem like they’ll stand the test of time. But how do we create true connection or reconnection? Through disconnection.

As human beings, we naturally are social people and ultimately we cannot live by ourselves. We need others to support us, guide us, love us, and be a friend. Having strong relationships are incredibly important as they ultimately allow us to thrive in life. Think about your best friend. Do they push you down or do they help you live life to the fullest? They should help you live your life fully and the feeling you get is what we want in all of your relationships. If you don’t have that feeling now, let me give you a few pointers.

Tips to Make Your Connection Stronger

Here are a few things I want you to try if you’re looking to strengthen the relationships that are closes to you.

1. Disconnect for a bit to find out who you want in your life. I know this sounds counter productive, but it’s actually very eye opening. When you stop reaching out to people, you learn quickly who your closest friends are.
2. When you have a strong connection, make a point to reach out. Call, send a text message, email, or heck, even write a letter and send it via snail mail. But make a point to do so.
3. Schedule “date nights”. Scheduling your time is one of the keys to living a balanced life. These date nights can remind you to relax, socialize a little, and have some fun. Date nights can consist of dinner and drinks, a movie, mini golfing, or even a long walk. Plan these with you partner, your friend, or even the connection you want to strengthen a relationship with.
4. Celebrate each other’s special days. Birthdays, anniversaries, job promotions, and even their debt freedom days. Any day that is special to your connection should be kept in the back of your mind and remembered because it shows you care. And showing you care is half the battle when it comes to relationships.

These tips are great, but what if you need to reconnect with someone? I highly suggest using these tips above, or try a few other things.

1. A handwritten note or letter can go a long way. Notes like these can impress upon someone memories and emotions that urge each party to rekindle a relationship. Write one and share a story and your reasons why you want to reconnect. While you wait for a response, send some positive thoughts into the Universe, and envision the reconnection happening.
2. Find an event you both would enjoy. Events take place in our local community all the time. And I’d bet there is at least one event coming up that falls into a commonality between you and someone you know. Find that event and invite them to join you. It’ll make for neutral ground and give you an opportunity to chat.

With these tips, a connection, or reconnection, is sure to be in your future. Good luck!
