Tuesday – February 6 – Start With Hello

Long-term loneliness and isolation is a major contributor to poor health.  Loneliness is also normal, we all feel lonely at times or isolated.  As humans we also know the importance and health benefits of connecting with people.  If you see someone alone, reach out, start with hello and start a conversation. 

Here are a few conversations starter ideas: 

                What has been the highlight of your day/week?

                What’s your favorite restaurant?

                What’s the first thing you do after school? 

                If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live and why?

                Tell me one thing I might not know about you?
