Daily, perform an act of kindness for someone in your support network each day. It can be as simple as writing a note or sending an email praising and thanking a member of your social support network. This helps me acknowledge and strengthen my social support network.
Your social support network can include family, friends coworkers and others who you think about when you consider who loves you and who you would call for an opinion or maybe help in a time of need. MY friends, family, coworkers and others (also called my “support network”) are more important to my health and wellness then I may believe. Also healthy relationships are valuable and worth my investment of time.
Your intentional acts of kindness can take on many forms. It can be a simple note, an unexpected gift at an unexpected time, a simple task that makes someone’s day easier or brighter. It can be as simple as an email saying: “I wanted to thank you for……” You get the idea
Social support networks have been identified as key factors in supporting our mental health and even in the prevention of the most common chronic illnesses. Intentional acts of kindness helps you acknowledge and strengthen your social support network.
