TGIF!\u00a0 It’s FRIDAY!\u00a0 Feel Good Friday.\u00a0 And we want you to feel GOOD!<\/p>\n

That’s why we team up every Friday with the Canadian Mental Health Association Lambton Kent<\/a> for Feel Good Fridays!\u00a0 Together, we share things you can do to take care of yourself, focus on your mental health and FEEL GOOD!<\/p>\n

This week, we’re talking about the power of connecting with friends and family.<\/p>\n

We get it.\u00a0 We’re all so busy.\u00a0 Busy schedules make it easy to lose contact with people that we love and care about.\u00a0 \u00a0Just trying to keep up with day to day life is busy enough and it’s easy to get disconnected from the people that matter.\u00a0 But, it’s important to STAY CONNECTED.\u00a0 Making an effort to keep social connections can help create more strong emotional supports to lift you up through life’s challenges.<\/p>\n

AND, to top it off, evidence shows that having these strong relationships are important for our well-being and can increase feelings of happiness and self-worth.<\/p>\n

So here is your challenge for today – reach out to a friend or family member today.<\/p>\n

Call.\u00a0 Email.\u00a0 Text.\u00a0 Message them on social media.<\/p>\n

REACH OUT AND CONNECT.<\/p>\n

Because it matters to you and it matters to them.<\/p>\n

And reach out to me anytime because I love when you do.<\/p>\n
