How to Cure Loneliness and Why It Matters

🚦[cue screeching sound of brakes] PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT🚦

We have the silent, lethal epidemic of LONELINESS amongst us. 

Here’s the thing: 

❌ Promotion to C-Suite won’t cut it 

❌ Not multiple six-figure income 

❌ Nor extended time away from office politics… 

(Ask me how I know) 

If you’re not having in-the-flesh, genuine joy-inducing HUMAN connection in your life, you risk not only inflammation, a tax on your immune system…

But you risk burnout, tapping out of your career mojo, and not being able to access your brilliant, on-the-feet-thinking negotiating brain 🧠 

Are you not having fun? 

Are you lonely? Do you spend way too much time glued to screens and chatting up ChatGPT, not a real pal? 

(I know I ain’t the only one)

If this is you, here’s the prescription 💊

✅ Step away from social media, screens, and emails… I know that’s a big ask for us addicts, so start small. Start for 2 hours a day. 

✅ Find a community - IRL - who share a common interest with you. Dog grooming, medieval 🏰 history, or in my case Brazilian zouk. 

✅ Move your body, groove to a new rhythm. 🕺💃 Do these steps at least once a week, if not every other day.

Here’s what I’ll promise you🌟

- Boosted productivity
- Improved sleep
- More ideas flooding your brain than before
- Better leadership presence 

Remember, your work, your career, your work…. At the end of the day, they ain’t your best friend. 🙅‍♂️

Nothing ever replaces IRL human connection. 

🎶🕺

Wishing you joyous human connection,

Jamie
