4 Tips to Keep Your Social Wellness in Check
In a nutshell, social wellness is the positive effect you
bring to the table when it comes to interactions with others. Social wellness
is effecting by many things in life, but overall whatever makes you happy aids
to the level of your social wellness being high and ‘contagious’. Social
wellness works a lot like physical fitness. It pays off in both the short and
long run for your mental health. On the other side of the coin, it also does
not come without discipline, effort and challenges. Social wellness is
something that needs to be worked for.
Even though everyone’s happiness is measured by something
different, here are a few ways to keep yourself as happy as possible so that
you and the people around you can benefit!
1. Talk to a Friend
Make sure you take the “social” in social wellness literally
and talk to your friends! Chatting has always been able to help improve the
quality of your mood.
2. Take some alone time
Sometimes, it’s okay to not go out to a party, or hang out
with your friends. You deserve some ‘you time’ and a chance to collect your
thoughts and calm your brain.
3. Exercise
Even with a busy schedule, making time for some exercise is
ALWAYS a benefit to almost every aspect of your life. Whether it’s catching a
Zumba class with your friends, or going for an early run, make sure you get out
there and sweat!
4. Help Others in Need
There is no better feeling, than helping out someone in
need. Volunteering at a food pantry, donating some clothes, or even helping an
elderly neighbor will make your frown flip upside down. Go out there and do
some good for the community!
