Studies show that isolating animals, produces significant stress. We see the same results for our species. We even use isolation as a form of punishment. This holiday season, as our stressors can be at an all time high, make a point to reach out to others for a sense of connection. Here is a list of ways you can reach out for connection:
- Invite a group of friends to go Carolling at a local nursing home
- Attend a Holiday Concert
- Plan a potluck with friends/family
- Buy a stranger a cup of coffee
- Committ to doing a Random Act of Kindness 1x/week (or more)
- Volunteer at a local shelter
- Do yardwork for your neighbor
- Take a meal to a family in need
- Choose to perform a random act of compassion
- write a letter to someone
- Call a friend to share how much they mean to you
- Invite friends over for a dance party
- Invite family/friends to play games
- Join an indoor sports league
- Register to take a class/book study
