I highly recommend really powering up your observational antenna at work and in all the social situations you encounter in the next few days. See how many bids for emotional attention you can pick up. Even waiting in line at the grocery store can provide opportunities for emotional connection. You respond by stating that today you are behind and have to work through lunch, but would love to join him for lunch on Friday. You acknowledge his attempt at humor and ask him to join you for coffee at 2:30. He is grossly over weight and you respond to his attempt at connection with a frown. You instantly regret this response but take no action. You are in a hurry and give him no response. You decline the invitation and simply walk off, preoccupied with all the unfinished reports on your desk.

Importance of connecting often Recall the statistic that cited the high rate of connection between happily married couples during a typical dinner hour- that they connected a hundred times during a ten minute period. So I paid attention to frequency of my interactions with my wife during our dinner hours for one week. Boy was I wrong. I found that we connected with each other almost constantly through conversation, facial expressions, touch, joking, etc. I also found that during one dinner hour when I was overly tired and responded less frequently to her attempts at connection, that it took extra effort on my part to re-engage in our conversation. What a powerful learning experience. Opportunities for emotional connection are truly cumulative. Interaction provides more opportunities for further interaction. Missed opportunities for interaction tend to result in fewer opportunities in the future for connection. The lesson: Pay attention and connect as often as possible. So what if you tend to be quiet. So what if all of this seems uncomfortable. Of course its uncomfortable, its new. Just pretend that you are British…. Keep a stiff upper lip and do it for the Queen.
