Research has shown that the single most important predictor of happiness and a long life is having strong relationships. Health measures like heart rate and blood pressure can even improve with positive social interactions. If you’ve been following along with Small Steps for Better Health, you’ve already spent some time focusing on spending time with people who lift your spirits and making meaningful connections. Now, let’s focus on other ways we can strengthen our social connections for a happier and healthier life.
Just like our other Small Steps for Better Health, let’s break it down and make it simple and sustainable. In this episode therapist Clark Hunt gives us ways to get started.
Every two weeks we will introduce another Small Step for Better Health. Follow us on social media for more tips, and sign up for our email newsletter, True North.
