The Importance of Social Connection
Social wellness means having good relationships with people around you. This includes your family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors. When you have strong connections with others, you feel happier and healthier. Here are three easy ways to build better relationships this year:
1. Spend time with people: Spend time with your family, friends, and community. Being together helps you feel like you belong and makes your friendships stronger.
2. Be a good listener: When you talk to someone, really pay attention to what they are saying. Try to understand their point of view without judging them. This will help you communicate better and make your relationships stronger.
3. Take care of yourself: Do things that make you happy and help you relax. When you feel good, it's easier to be a good friend and family member.
