Issue 7: Cultivating & Nurturing Connections
It's February already! Is 2024 going fast or slow for you? Somewhere in between? We can't tell.
As Valentine's Day approaches, we're reflecting on the true essence of this holiday. When we think of Valentine's Day, we usually picture flowers, chocolates, and those big romantic gestures. But if you're not in the lovey-dovey loop, it's pretty easy to brush off the whole thing. We believe there is something even more profound to celebrate – let's dive in!
Cultivating & Nurturing Connections
3 Journal Prompts to Foster Connections with Others
- ✎ What qualities do I value in my friends and relationships?
- ✎ How would my family/partner/best friends describe me?
- ✎ Think about a time when you felt truly supported by a friend. What did they do that made you feel seen and valued? How can you reciprocate and provide similar support to others in your circle?
Rituals & Habits
For showing up, creating connections, and sending love to your friends...
- 💌 Write love letters to your friends. Ever thought about writing love letters to your friends?
- 🌌 Keep a list of people you want to get to know better or prioritize time with. It sounds really Type-A, but it helps hold you accountable to nurturing the relationships you care about!
- 👩🏽🍳 Cook a nice, warm meal and host your favorite people! There's something magical about sharing a meal you made with love.
- 🧘🏽♀️ Book a yoga or workout class and go with a friend. Sweating it out together not only makes you feel good, but it's also a great way to bond.
