Fostering Friendships
People have a natural need for friends, and with good reason. Friends increase your enjoyment of life, relieve feelings of loneliness, and even help reduce stress and improve your health.
Strong friendships, based on trust and respect, will survive the test of time. But that doesn't mean you can take them for granted. Life is busy, and it is easy to forget to show friends appreciation.
Strengthening Friendships
All it takes is a little effort and creativity to keep relationships alive and fun. Use these ideas to keep your friendships strong:
- Update your personal phone book every six months; it gives you a chance to catch up with old friends.
- Send a card for no reason other than to let a friend know how special he or she is to you.
- Think of a fun trip or even you and a friend experienced together and call him or her to reminisce.
Workplace Friendships
You spend a lot of time with people at work. Try these ideas to indicate how much your co-workers mean to you:
- Buy some low-cost, fun toys for co-workers to keep on their desks.
- If you see a television show or read an article that would interest a co-worker, send a link to the show or email them the article.
- If someone helped you out, let his or her supervisor know with a quick email.
