Authentic Connections Create Wellness

Relationships must provide the connection, acuity, and affirmation that is inherently programmed into humans to seek. Think about if discussing this with your trusted tribe could be beneficial. The cornerstone of social wellness is having someone by your side when you feel lost and detached without comparison or judgment. If there is a significant emotional reaction during such interactions, you could pause and express thankfulness when you ordinarily would just keep talking.  Other times, greeting others and scheduling periods during the day without technology. To make this happen, you may even need to decide “Do I need advice right now or do I just want someone to listen?” before you can find and connect with a social resource.

Look for varied viewpoints, details, tales, and experiences. Engage in diverse peer interactions and develop an interest in your own unique culture, family rituals, and customs, all of which, according to research, are beneficial to wellness. A straightforward but important tactic in your quest for wellness in this area is taking the time to consider your own internal biases that you act on based on preconceptions of ethnicity, gender, religion, or sexual orientation. 

Putting emotional health first may require you to return to the fundamentals; get enough sleep and eat to maintain energy throughout the day. If you feel more worn out than usual, slow down. Additionally, stepping back from time to time to remind yourself that what you are feeling is normal and expected.
