Spend more time with your friends and family this new year
By Sarah Ritcey a student submission
This new year you should be prioritizing spending time with your friends and family. There are mental health benefits to doing so and here are some tips on how to do it.
Making specific plans with friends or family will pretty much make you have to see them and spend time with them. Having sit-down family or friend dinners is a great way to enjoy each other’s company as well as catching up.
Make a bucket list to do with your friends or family! You can have as many as 10 things to do together or up to 100 things.
Doing everyday things with your friends or family can make chores easier and more fun. You can invite them to help clean your room up or organize. You can also workout with them! If you’re interested in quality time and time to really connect, do a spa night. Do nails, facials, face masks, yoga, or just have a sit down and talk or rant.
There are many things you can do this year in order to spend more time with your friends and family. Doing this can also benefit your own mental health. It can reduce your stress, boost confidence, and combat loneliness for all parties. This is your sign to call up your friends and family to make some plans to hang out.
