If loneliness is as harmful as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, then there are harmful impacts on our physical being
Feeling like your social life is on the back burner? You’re not alone. In this episode of 'Accidentally Intentional', Zoe Asher tackles the challenge of making time for adult friendships amidst our busy lives. With work, family, and personal commitments piling up, finding time for friends can seem impossible. But Zoe's got you covered with three practical tips to help you build and maintain those essential connections.
Did you know that loneliness can be as harmful as smoking 15 cigarettes a day? That's why it’s crucial to prioritise friendships for your mental and physical health. Zoe shares her first tip - integrating 'social fitness' into your weekly routine. If you already work out, swap one gym session for a coffee date or lunch with a friend. It’s all about balancing physical health with social well-being.
The second tip is inspired by Simon Sinek’s concept of the '8-minute phone call'. When you’re short on time, even a brief call can make a world of difference. Lastly, Zoe emphasises the importance of being intentional with your plans. Instead of vague promises to catch up 'soon', set specific dates and times to ensure those meet-ups happen. By following these steps, you can enrich your life with meaningful friendships, even in the busiest of schedules.
