Think of the friend you can go months without talking to and pick up exactly where you left off.
That friend is a gift to your mind. A good friendship gives your mind a place where it can drop its guard and stop performing, and a mind that feels safe can rest and recharge. 🍜 A large analysis of 148 studies led by Julianne Holt-Lunstad found that people with strong social connections were 50 percent more likely to be alive at follow-up. Friendships like these count as real health care, however rarely you see each other.
Plan something small with them this week: a coffee, a new restaurant, a long walk. Laugh, catch up, and leave feeling lighter.
Send this to the friend who makes life feel easier just by being in it. 🫶 💕
