The Real Vitamin C

Psychologist Dr Edward Hallowell published this in a Connect Magazine in 2001.

"We are a nation of doers. We hurry from place to place, filling our lives with all kinds of activities, sometimes over scheduling our kids and ourselves. But what really sustains us emotionally, psychologically, and psychically is connectedness, the feeling that we are a part of something that matters, something that is larger than ourselves that gives life meaning. Just as there is a vitamin deficiency, there is a human contact deficiency, and it weakens the body, the mind, and the spirit. Its ravages can be severe - depression, physical illness, early death. Or they can be mild - underachievement, fatigue, and loneliness. Just as we need Vitamin C each day we also need a dose of human contact everyday with other people.

Have you had your dose of Vitamin "C" - connectedness today.
