Social vitality

Health has a social dimension

Friendship, family, partnership, and community give healthy routines a place to live. Connection can be quiet, practical, playful, or deeply supportive.

Small ways to reconnect

Invite

Suggest a walk, meal, or short call with a specific time that makes answering easy.

Listen

Give a conversation enough attention that the other person does not have to compete with a screen.

Bound

Healthy connection includes the ability to say no, ask for space, and repair misunderstandings.

A sustainable life has people who can notice when the lights are on and when they are not.
