Social Wellness In Your Life
Your social wellness is grounded in your relationships and interactions with others. Relationships are essential to a healthy, balanced life, as they provide support, comfort, and companionship. To be socially well, you need to attend to building and maintain healthy, constructive relationships with family, friends, and romantic partners, fostering a genuine connection with those in your life.
Balancing your social needs with those of the other aspects of your life can be challenging, but it is necessary for overall well-being. Learning to balance your own needs with those of others is a skill we continue to practice throughout our lives but is essential for mutually supportive relationships.
