And what Carrie and I discussed today was how to add more juice to those relationships and why there is so much value in having connection rituals.   Key Takeaways We all crave a deep sense of belonging and long to be seen and felt by the people in our lives. Give away only 49%; save 51% for your own self-care because you can only give your best to the world when you’ve filled yourself up first. Creating connection rituals gives us the opportunity to settle back into our relationships and to energetically return to home.    Mentioned in This Episode The Family Cooks  By Laurie David  https://www.amazon.com/Family-Cooks-Recipes-Craving-Incredibly/dp/1623362504   Slow Family Living: 75 Simple Ways to Slow Down, Connect, and Create More Joy  By Bernadette Noll https://www.amazon.com/Slow-Family-Living-Simple-Connect/dp/0399160078   Carrie Contey, PhD http://carriecontey.com/   Connect with the 60 Mindful Minutes podcast   Web: https://kristenmanieri.com  Email: Kristen@kristenmanieri.com    Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/60MindfulMinutes Instagram: @kristenmanieri_
