Healthy friendships are good for you! They’re linked to better cardiovascular health and mental health, lower blood pressure and stress. For healthy friendships, exercise the 2 ‘S’; ‘Smile’ and ‘Silence’ appropriately.

Smile more, both with your eyes and lips. Show you’re glad to see someone. Show them you’re interested in what they have to share. And include more silence in your conversations. This silence gives you the space to really hear the other person and gives them the space to formulate what they want to say.

Until da next Tyme
