Over the past few weeks, I have learned some new phrases, such as \u201csocial distancing\u201d and \u201cshelter-in-place.\u201d Cautions such as \u201cmaintain at least a 6-foot distance\u201d and \u201cwash your hands\u201d have become some of the most urgent warnings. While we are physically becoming more and more secluded, it is critical to remember the importance of human connection. Bren\u00e9 Brown taught us that we are hard wired for connection, love, and belonging. Now, more than ever, it is important to reach out to others and check in with them. Picking up the phone and calling a friend or even someone you have not spoken with in a long time can help others recognize and remember that they matter to you. While we can\u2019t reach out and shake someone\u2019s hand, give them a high-five, a fist bump, or a hug, let people know that you care about them and that they matter. At first, it may seem fine to pull away and get lost binge-watching television shows and playing video games, but what we truly need as human beings physiologically is human connection. Don\u2019t wait for someone else to reach out. Take the first step and let someone know you care. We can\u2019t make it through this alone. We need each other. Remember that, together, we got this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/chHePtmBIAc\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Together, we got this.
