In our busy lives, relationships can become transactional. We reach out when we need something, or when there is a reason. Make time each week to reach out to someone just to connect. Not for a reason. Just to say hello and see how they are doing.
This might be a text, a call, or an email. The format does not matter. What matters is the intention: to connect, to show you care, to maintain the relationship for its own sake, not for what it can provide.
These small connections maintain relationships. They prevent friendships from fading. They show people they matter to you. They create a network of care that supports you when you need it.
Choose someone to reach out to this week. Send them a message just to say hello. Then notice how this simple act strengthens your relationships and makes you feel more connected.
