Pause, Breathe, and Connect

Strong, warm relationships are a key element of happiness, well-being, and longevity. We live longer with friends!

Most of us understand the importance of relationships but life gets busy, and it's easy to lose touch.

Yet even with a packed schedule, you can make a small step toward connection.

Think of a person you enjoy yet haven't seen for a while.

Someone who makes you laugh, knows you really well, encourages you, inspires you, or lets you be yourself.

Contact this person (today!) and schedule a connection.

Make it small and doable. A cup of coffee or a short walk or a phone call. Something you can put on your calendar without much fuss.

Make friendship a priority this week. One small, doable step. Pause, breathe, and connect.
