	Description:		This episode discusses the importance of connection as the fourth pillar of mental fitness. It explores how modern lifestyles and digital interactions have led to increased loneliness and less genuine human connection. Through personal anecdotes, carly emphasises the value of real-life interactions over digital connections and encourages listeners to actively seek out 'micro connections' in their daily lives. A suggested journaling exercise based on the Japanese practice of Naikan helps reflect on received and given connections to improve well-being. The episode concludes with a call to ramp up meaningful connections and engage children in similar practices. 00:00 Introduction to the Fourth Pillar of Mental Fitness 00:36 The Decline of Genuine Human Connection 01:51 Personal Anecdotes on Connection 03:17 The Importance of Micro Connections 04:41 Encouraging Real-World Interactions 05:24 Reflecting on Daily Connections 07:16 Conclusion and Weekly Challenge See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
