Connecting with others can help us feel close to people, and valued for who we are. Being social means different things for different people. You might prefer being in quieter situations with one other person, or you might like being in big groups. You might like to connect with people online, or you might enjoy phone calls or sending letters.
Here are some ways you could make a connection today:
- If you feel comfortable, you could try speaking to someone new
- Ask how someone’s weekend was, and really listen when they tell you
- Put 5 minutes aside to find out how a colleague is doing
- Give a colleague a lift to work or share the journey home with them
