Day 13 · CALL · Week 2

Reconnect

Call a loved one. Make the whole conversation about them. Do not perform your pain.

The action

Call a loved one, a mentor, or a positive influence. Ask how they have been, listen completely, and make the entire conversation about them. Do not tell your story. Do not perform your pain. Just connect.

Why

Avoidance is a hallway leading straight back to the old life. Reconnecting with healthy individuals is how you practice belonging in the light. Doing it without making yourself the center of attention proves to your nervous system that you do not need to perform your trauma to be worthy of connection.

How

Voice to voice. Call them. Do not rely on a three-word text or a like on a photo unless that is the absolute only channel available.
Leave the voicemail. If they do not pick up, leave a genuine, honest voicemail. The execution of the outreach is the action.
Keep it simple. You do not owe anyone a TED Talk. Hi, I just wanted to hear your voice and see how you are.
