Cultivate Connections with Positive Like-Minded People

Depending on who you talk to, one in three adults feel lonely at least once a week. Loneliness is an epidemic that has not returned to the low pre-pandemic levels. People who have a partner also report being lonely due to a lack of connection and/or shared activities.

If you find someone or a group of people who motivate you and encourage you, maintain the connection. During this time of division, it is very difficult to find another person that sees you for you and understands you and wants the best for you. If you find this person, do whatever it takes to maintain the connection and grow the connection within reason.
