Being a grown-up can be lonely. So often we spend our days alone, even if we are surrounded by people. Taking the time to connect with people you care about in a positive way is very important to managing your stress and keeping your heart healthy.
Think about it. There are people in your life who add to your stress and people who help you release it. Why is it we seem to spend the most time with the people in the first group?
In the Are Your Friends Hurting or Helping Your Heart article we discussed the way our relationships affect stress levels and heart health. As the New Year begins take a personal inventory of the people in your life:
Who adds to your stress? How can you avoid or limit their affect your health?
Who makes you laugh? How can you spend more time talking to them?
Who makes you feel safe? How can you nurture that relationship?
Who helps you relax? What can you do to make time for them?
