People remember more how you make them feel than anything that you say.  We all need to be seen and heard as important, and people follow the way we think and the way we act.  If you want to be happier and healthier, being more connected with others is crucial.  Connection isn’t just physical;  it also can be an emotional and mental connection with other people.
