Build meaningful connections with others

from The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times by Michelle Obama

How to Apply This

  1. Be open to forming new relationships.
    Make a conscious effort to meet new people in various settings like work, social gatherings, or through shared activities like hobbies or your children's events.
  2. Take the initiative.
    Don't hesitate to ask someone to grab a coffee or do something fun outside of your usual environment, like going for a walk or trying out a new activity together.
  3. Show genuine interest.
    Be curious about the other person's life, thoughts, and experiences. Ask questions and actively listen to their responses to deepen the connection.
  4. Be willing to be vulnerable.
    Share something personal about yourself, such as your interests, dreams, or challenges. Being open allows others to relate and creates an environment for deeper conversations.
  5. Express and share joy.
    Allow yourself to express happiness and positive emotions when you're with others. Sharing moments of joy and celebrating achievements together helps build a stronger connection.
