Why Disconnecting Is a Good Thing

Filed under: Social Media Business Marketing

disconnected-headphones We’ve all been there. Struggling. Consumed with the stress in our life.

There’s no power. No energy for anyone or anything around us.

It’s all we can do to keep putting one foot ahead of the other.

And yet, we continue moving forward.

The never ending project ends. Black clouds over our heads lift. So do our spirits.

Piece by piece, one connection at a time, we plug in to life. And realize we’re not in the same place before the power disconnected.

Our lives have been changed.

The economic hardships real estate agents, builders, home inspectors — small business owners in every industry — experience are traumatic. Income levels have dropped 40%. Bank deposits for self-employed independent contractors (most real estate agents) are infrequent at best. Cash reserves have dwindled. It’s a fact. Times are tough. So, get over it already!

One of the first steps to reconnecting — moving from post-traumatic stress disorder to post-traumatic stress growth — is acceptance. I believe this is an inside job. No one can do this work for you.

A sign of acceptance is connecting to the world again. We begin to share the truth of our experience and discover we are not alone. By sharing, we offer hope to those still disconnected. By sharing, we feel alive once more. Our creativity is sparked. Energy levels rise. We discover ways to be productive and, in turn, profitable.

I’m ready to connect. Are you?
