Belonging to a supportive nurturing group, is the best protection you can have against disease and unhappiness. Being loved can prevent you from the flood of negative emotions that have the capacity to destroy you.
With the breakdown of the joint family in India, the shock absorber of family ties is threatened. Nuclear families are creating explosive situations, which are lethal.
Invest in your family. Keep in touch with your extended family. Join supportive groups.
Being ‘included’ in a group is very healing. Study the group to which you belong and see whether you share:
common goals
a common language
shared jokes
your pet-name
personal successes and failures
time together
a common shorthand of thinking and speaking
compliments
comfort and support
affirmations and help
