Expand Your Social Circle by Reaching Out
Unlock the Power of Connection: Expand Your Social Circle and Banish Loneliness Today!
No one should have to go through life alone. It makes life much easier if you have a list of people you can call when you want a helping hand or a shoulder to cry on.
Life is even more fulfilling when you have special people with whom you can share victories and create cherished memories.
Consider these ideas on how to establish and keep contact with others to maintain an active support system:
1. Vow to talk to 2 people in your family each week.
Whether you’re communicating to a brother, sister, or an extended family member, make a personal decision to phone or visit 2 family members per week.
Why? Because family members are often our biggest sources of social support. Consider people in your family as part of your social network.
You could also meet your new best friend through your aunt or brother. Your relatives have neighbors, friends, co-workers, and various other types of acquaintances you might meet when paying them a visit.
