Disconnection
“We live in a disconnected world, where much of what we know and love can feel out of balance or even separated.”
Disconnection — from ourselves, from families, others, and from the natural world can arise at any age, stage, phase, or moment in life. It helps to recognise, at a glance, just how common this experience can be.
Physical Wellbeing
Scenario: Skipping meals, low activity, disrupted sleep
Disconnection: Neglecting physical needs
Noticeable experiences: Feeling tired, tense, or irritable
Mental & Emotional Wellbeing
Scenario: Negative self-talk, constant busyness, information overload
Disconnection: Losing touch with thoughts and feelings
Noticeable experiences: Feeling scattered, overwhelmed, or emotionally distant
Social Wellbeing
Scenario: Limited connection with friends, family, or community
Disconnection: Feeling isolated or unsupported
Noticeable experiences: Feeling lonely, misunderstood, or withdrawn
Spiritual Wellbeing
Scenario: Ignoring what matters most, neglecting personal beliefs or nature connection
Disconnection: Losing touch with purpose, values, or meaning
Noticeable experiences: Feeling ungrounded, restless, or disconnected from what gives life meaning
Environmental Wellbeing: Land
Scenario: Fewer birds, native plants, and insects in local areas, reducing opportunities to notice and enjoy the natural world.
Disconnection: The environment feels quieter and emptier; people spend less time outdoors and have fewer opportunities to engage with nature.
Noticeable experiences: Feeling less energised, missing the sensory richness of time spent in natural spaces.
Environmental Wellbeing: Sea
Scenario: Pollution and biodiversity loss affect rivers, lakes, and oceans, once places of reflection, gathering, and renewal, changing how people experience and engage with the water.
Disconnection: People may feel saddened or less connected seeing once-living waters decline; cultural and intergenerational connections may feel weaker.
Noticeable experiences: Feeling less uplifted, missing opportunities for reflection, connection, and shared experiences by the water.
Environmental Wellbeing: Sky
Scenario: Air pollution obscures skies and fresh air, changing how people experience the natural environment.
Disconnection: People may feel less connected to the sense of openness, wonder, and the living world; opportunities for reflection and spiritual grounding can feel reduced.
Noticeable experiences: Feeling less uplifted, missing moments of awe or connection with the rhythms of nature.
“Rather than seeing your wellbeing as separate parts, Compassionate Strength™ invites you to explore how everything connects: your body, heart, mind, spirit, relationships, and your connection with nature for balance and wellbeing.”
