Reconnecting and reaching out to important people in our lives
Social connection is a really important part of wellbeing! Social connection is beneficial in improving a sense of belonging, reducing stress and improving self-confidence (among many many other benefits!).
There are times when life gets busy, and we lose contact with people that mean a lot to us. This week's wellbeing activity is focusing on reconnecting with those important in our lives.
Activity:
1. Reach out to someone important in your life and reconnect
2. Let us know what that person means to you and why you value their presence in your life
I'll start!
This morning I called a friend I hadn't spoken to in a few months. I really value her friendship because she makes me laugh and reminds me it's okay to not take life to seriously sometimes- I need that reminder every now and then!
Hey @Jess1-RO!
This is such a great activity. There are several friends I've been meaning to reconnect with, and life just keeps getting in the way - this is a great motivator to actually do it! 
What a great idea @Jess1-RO!
The other day I had lunch with a friend I haven't seen for a while because our schedules always clash. It was great to catch up, we have been friends since high school and I really value her friendship.
Love this idea @Jess1-RO!
I recently bumped into a pretty close high school friend at a party after a few years of not seeing each other! We had naturally drifted due to busy uni schedules but it was really nice seeing her again that day. So I guess in the spirit of this Weekly Wellbeing, I'll definitely try and find a time to meet up with her to properly catch up
We used to catch public transport together to get to school so she was always the first friend I saw in the morning! I really valued her friendship because we'd have a good time together joking around and it would always brighten my day before we went through a (tough) day at school.
