❤️Reconnect With Someone Special❤️
We nurture ourselves by cultivating and nurturing relationships with friends and family. Of course, social well-being is just one integral element of overall wellness, but it matters tremendously. At least, we are starting to understand that better now.
Relationships and social wellness are critical components of our mental and physical health. We need a strong social network to provide support through hardships and everyday challenges. Good social wellness also helps us be more resilient and respond better to stress.
Human beings thrive on connection and having a sense of belonging. That said, it is also not always easy for us to return to how things were. It's time for us to reconnect, but use this as an opportunity to reassess and ease back in mindfully.
Friends are how we manage our daily lives and how we make sure not to go insane. Over the years, we lose touch with friends who may have moved away or just lost connection with them.
Reach out to someone you haven't seen in a while and schedule a time to catch up over a coffee or a video call if they are far away. Remind them how much they mean to you.
"This idea of shared humanity and the connections that we make with one another - that's what, in fact, makes life worth living."
