RU OK?

I know.

It's hard to check in with everyone... how do you make time? What do you say? What if it is awkward?

A recent study showed that people do appreciate it when you reach out unexpectedly. And we know that human interaction is good for our mental health and longevity.

So, here are three things to try that take little time and effort

1. Next time you're on a boring drive call or text someone you haven't spoken to in a while (Hands free of course!)
2. Look up an old photo and send it to a friend
3. Have lunch or share a coffee with someone new. We all have work colleagues we can connect with better

Sometimes I feel the only thing stopping us is the voice in our heads. I would rather live with a brief feeling of discomfort than regret.
