One of the least emphasized aspects of your health span training is the relationship aspects and our connections with other humans around us.
Almost all our health span training is done alone and
in service to me. In the Gym? It's about me. When I eat? It's about me. The same thing with my sleep.
It’s about me.
But really those things become less important if my
relationship with other humans around me is weak or non-existent. Most of you
reading this have some connection with other people: it might be your spouse,
might be your parents, might be your children, the people you work with. But
how are those relationships? Are you working at them or are they just all on
autopilot? When you spend time talking with them are you listening? And by that,
I mean are you listening to understand or are you listening to answer? Are you
going out of your way to meet your relationships where they need to be met? Or where
you think they need to be met?
Our relationships with other humans are the meat and
potatoes of who we are as humans. We are tribal animals. Throughout the millennia
humans thrive best when they are aligned with other people. All the
advancements humans have created were created to help other humans. Think about
it…every advancement: the steam engine, the telephone, antibiotics, textiles,
farming, the list goes on and on.
There is an old saying…if you want to go fast go
alone, if you want to go far go together. I don’t know about you but I don’t
want to be the last man standing. I want to live a full and rich life and that
means with lots of love, harmony, and happiness around me.
