Lesson 6. Connecting with Yourself

You’ll learn and start practicing the skill of connecting with yourself.

In this lesson, Newt will explain in-depth the first of the three core NVC skills: Connecting with yourself. You will learn the importance of connecting with yourself in order to later connect with others, as well as the importance of empathy in the process.

Here are the topics covered in this lesson:

• Empathy, how seeing the world through someone else's eyes, can be the key to unlock deep connectivity.
• How to develop the habit of Connecting with Yourself. 
• The power of asking yourself “How do I feel?”, to cut through the storm of thoughts in turbulent situations.
• Dealing with the feeling of pride: you will have to choose between being right or happy. You don't get to be both.
• Assignment: Not only try to apply what you have learned so far, now if you feel willing: turn your attention to the feelings and needs of others.
