The Joy in Connection | What the Harvard Study Reveals About Relationships & Well-Being

Описание: Connection is one of the deepest sources of joy we have and the research proves it.

The Harvard Study of Adult Development, the longest-running study on human happiness, found one powerful predictor of well-being:
The quality of your relationships.
Not wealth.
Not success.
Not achievement.
Relationships.

But there’s another layer we don’t talk about enough:
To form authentic, joyful relationships with others…
you must first learn to accept yourself.

In today’s video, I share how self-acceptance transformed every relationship in my life.

When I started recognizing what I brought to relationships, my compassion, presence, insight, calm, humor, everything deepened.
