From the moment a child is born, in the midst of their dependence, they are conditioned to receive the greatest nutrient that sustains courage, confidence, and curiosity. 🔗Connection🔗
This comes in the form of secure attachment. Though babies first lean into attachment in a way that they can’t survive without it, they then learn to carry it WITHIN them as independence is fostered.
This allows them to move through their worry and uncertainty with resilience. This allows them to get on a bus 🚌 for the first time unsure and walk off with the grandest smile.
The confidence to explore came from the confidence in connection. The knowing that someone has you, always.
The good news… especially for us adults. Connection can be cultivated. It can be found on God, in others, in authentic healing and restoration.
And from connection ➡️ love, understanding, confidence, security, encouragement, and resilience can grow 🌱 Things so many of us are deficient in.
How could growing in attachment shift your life?!
