One of the easiest ways to meet new people is to follow your passions or take up a new hobby. If you’ve always wondered about yoga, learning a language or painting, now’s the time to enrol in a class. Being part of a group gives you the opportunity to connect with like-minded people.
A simple but effective friend-making idea is to stop by someone’s desk and pay them a compliment. Would you believe it actually releases chemical that promote feelings of trust and happiness for both the giver and the receiver? Just be willing to give things a go. You have nothing to lose, and a whole swag of friends to gain.
Ancient philosophers and scientists agree: strong social ties are the KEY to happiness. Studies show that people with five or more friends often have higher levels of happiness than these who have fewer friends and those with support are less likely to contract disease. A long-term study of adults in America even found that it was easier to predict how long a person would live by looking at the strength of their social networks rather than the state of their health! |
