Build connection from "summary" of The Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown

Building connection means creating a sense of belonging and fostering relationships with others. It involves being authentic, vulnerable, and open to sharing our true selves with those around us. Connection requires empathy, compassion, and the willingness to listen and understand others without judgment. When we build connection, we create a space where we can be seen and accepted for who we are, flaws and all. To build connection, we must first start by connecting with ourselves. This means being honest with ourselves about our thoughts, feelings, and experiences. It involves embracing our imperfections and vulnerabilities, and recognizing that we are worthy of love and belonging just as we are. By accepting ourselves fully, we are better able to connect with others in a genuine and meaningful way. Building connection also requires setting boundaries and practicing self-care. It is important to prioritize our own well-being and ensure that we are not sacrificing our own needs in order to please others. By taking care of ourselves, we are better able to show up authentically in our relationships and connect with others in a healthy and sustainable way. When we build connection, we create a sense of community and support that enriches our lives and brings us joy. It allows us to share our experiences, celebrate our successes, and lean on others in times of need. By nurturing connections with those around us, we are able to cultivate a sense of belonging and create a network of love and support that sustains us through life's challenges.
