Relating: Connect with people

Hello, Lia here - it’s great to be with you again.

Good relationships are important for our health and well-being, especially in challenging times. A study at Harvard showed that people with supportive relationships had better overall health and happier mood, even when they were in physical pain.

All relationships have challenges and we can’t change other people! But we can choose how we respond. So, today focus on a relationship you’d like to strengthen. Here are some ideas:

  • Contact someone you care about to say "Hi" and let them know you're thinking of them.
  • Call a family member or a friend and take a real interest in what’s happening in their life by really listening and asking questions.
  • Think about a quality you admire in someone and let them know how much you appreciate it.

Today’s action:

Nurturing relationships with other people can make them feel cared for and help us to feel cared for, too. It's great to be part of a community. There’s a good chance it’ll put a smile on their face to hear from you.

Have fun connecting today. And now you can disconnect this window.
