We all have connections with other people.
Friends, family, loved ones, acquaintances, colleagues.
Keep those connections healthy and maintained.
Connection
Tag Archives: friendship
Meet
Just because a friend says they’re okay, it doesn’t mean that they are.
Check in with them.
They might appreciate someone being there for them.
Discuss
We have all been through a period of social isolation.
Our interactions have been focused on a small number of topics.
Engage with your friends without any bias or preconceptions.
We will get past this, together.
My Friends
Value the friendships you have formed over the years.
They are the bond that keep you sane, bring you joy and give you a a sense of community.
Don’t take your friends for granted; they will see you through the dark times, and you can help them through theirs.
Companionship
Never venture into the unknown without any support.
A wingman, a back-up, a fall-back, however you choose to brand them, pick someone you can rely on to walk the path with you.
They will have your back, and you can have theirs too.
Hobbies
Have something you enjoy to pass the time.
Relaxation is key, so whether it is a lone project or one to enjoy with friends, take time out to do something you love.
Go fishing!
Social Distancing
Introverts of the world unite! Our time has come!
With everything that’s going on at the moment, connecting with people, keeping up communication with friends, family and loved ones has never been more important.
I will be honest, I am quite introverted. I am more than happy with my own company and I find social events (you know, the type we used to have, seeing people face to face in restaurants, pubs, bars or at their houses) tiring.
But you can always have too much of a good thing, and online socialising was the way forward. It’s not something I have ever tried, but, in these unprecedented times (how common a phrase is that now?), new adventures and experiences await!
It’s an odd feeling, sitting in your lounge chatting to other people in theirs, as you ‘share’ glasses of wine, beer or cups of tea. Once you’ve made it past any technological hurdles and connectivity, I found you can quickly see beyond the screens.
We are getting used to a new normal, but doing so with a glass of something nice from our own sofas, chatting with friends who are doing the same isn’t a bad way of doing that!
Another quick reminder about the May’s Mass Observation Project!
