Strengthen Connections
Reach out to someone you’re overdue to touch in with. Make amends over something that feels impossible. Tell someone how much they mean to you. Take a social risk. Build bonds.
Why we do it:
Life is busy, and it’s easy to fall out of touch. If there are people you’re “overdue to say hi to” send a text right now. If there’s someone you’d like to know better, take a risk and invite them to do something small. If there’s someone you have regrets over, apologize without expectation. Maybe all you’ll do is clear your conscience, but maybe you’ll restore a relationship.
It takes conscious work to build social connections, and most adults don’t prioritize that work. In difficult times, it’s critical to maintain and reinforce connections. Take a risk and reap rewards.
