Strengthen Your Relationships
We know that good relationships make life better. But do they make life longer? That’s what a recent article suggests by pointing to studies highlighting the role of strong relationships in longevity and general well-being.
The message: Add years to your life by strengthening your relationships. Here are some ways to start.
Be positive. Most of us want to be around people who make us feel good about life and ourselves. Be a source of positive feelings and others will like spending time with you.
Be consistent. Good relationships are built on reliability. Make time on a regular basis to be with the people who matter to you.
Be curious. If you talk about yourself all the time, you’ll probably be by yourself most of the time. If you ask people you care about what’s going on their lives, they’ll feel valued and want to be around you more.
Be proactive. If you want strong relationships, you can’t wait for the other person to make connections.
Reach out. It lets the other person know you want to be with them.
Be there. It’s could seem cliché, but sometimes the best way to build a relationship is simply to be available and present, focused on that person and what matters to them in that moment.
