Attention and love.

Attention and love are hygiene factors, just like food, water and air. When we don't get enough of them, it affects our body and mind.

Yes, we can survive more days without them compared with the latter, but learning to live without them isn't a good strategy for thriving.

In today's mostly isolated world, the structures that might have provided us with attention and love are vanishing. And we need to consciously create spaces where we can get access to them.

Building a small community of people where you are missed when you are not there, spending time in nature, having a heart to heart with a friend, doing therapy can be a few ways we can try to fill the gap.
