Reflecting on ourselves and our relationships is a great way to asses our social health. We can start by looking at the signs of good social health and assessing whether these apply to your life.
Signs of good social health include:
- Balancing your social and personal time
- Being your true self at all times
- Engaging with people in your community
- Treating others with respect
- Maintaining and building strong relationships with friends
- Creating healthy boundaries that help with communication, trust and conflict management
- Turning to friends and family for support
- Communicating effectively
Start with Self Care
Before you can set out to improve your social wellness, you need to practice self-care. Look after yourself by getting enough sleep, eating a healthy balanced diet, exercising and removing any coping mechanisms like excessive alcohol consumption. Understand what causes you stress and how to not let it consume you.
