❓ DO YOU KNOW THAT...
...Strong relationships help you live LONGER?
It's true!
People with strong social relationships have about a 50% greater likelihood of survival than those who are socially isolated.
So make efforts to connect with friends and loved ones regularly.
When I face difficult circumstances, I have a few friends I reach out to for solace and prayers.
My spiritual mentor — Pastor Tony Adah — tops the list.
Why? Because he has shown unwavering commitment to see to my spiritual development since my teenage years until date.
All the way from Enugu state, I present fiofio (pigeon peas). Made with palm oil, crayfish, oil bean & scent leaves. It's best cooked with yam or achicha & goes well with a bottle of water. Trust me, you'll love this highly nutritious meal rich in protein
In maintaining positive relationships and social connectedness, building relationships with your colleagues is key 🔑
Some MIDWEEK recommendations to make this happen include:
✅ Learn names
✅ Show interest
✅ Engage in respectful conversations
✅ Be respectful always
“Sometimes walking away from the wrong relationship is the HEALTHIEST STEP toward the right one.”
If a certain friendship/relationship is hurting you in any way (mentally, physically, spiritually, financially, etc), it's best to walk away than lose your #mentalhealth in it.
❓ HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT....
...people who are socially connected have healthier blood pressure?
(— American Heart Association)
It's true!
Guys and ladies who have a strong social support network are LESS LIKELY to develop a high blood pressure.
"For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out." 1 Timothy 6:7
But in actual fact, we can carry something out. We EITHER carry SIN or SALVATION out.
Make Jesus your CHOICE.
Think about this: When was the last time you spent an hour with a friend or loved one without looking at your phone?
Healthy relationships thrive when each person knows they're important enough to have their friends' undivided attention when they need it.
