How well do you relate to other people? Do you like the company of others, just because you’re lonely, or because you feel the need to share unique experiences?
As social beings we interact every day with others. Some areas in which our lifestyle reflects our Social Wellness are:
* positive interaction with others
* enjoy being with others
* develop and build friendships
* practice empathy
* care for others
* allow others to care for usTo enable us to improve our social wellness it is important to:
* know one’s needs
* pursue one’s needs
* connect with other people who nurture these needs
* make an effort to talk to people who are supportive
* join a club/volunteer when possibleFound at this website.
It certainly is hugely important to understand yourself first, to know your own needs and values, before you can reach out to others. And then, are we really socially adjusted and “well” if we don’t allow others in our lives.
The one really excludes the other – you have to give, to be able to receive. The one without the other has no real meaning.
