Here are some ideas to get started:
1. Pay attention to the frequency, consistency, and quality in which you invest in your relationships and connections.
2. Minimize distractions during conversations to increase the quality of time. (Put those phones down!)
3. Seek out ways to initiate and help others in your community. (Let others know they matter to you. Being respectful and kind is free, but priceless!)
4. Seek help when you need it, too. Reach out to family, a friend, a counselor, or dial the 988 crisis line.

Last week, the Office of the U.S. Surgeon General published an advisory naming loneliness an U.S. epidemic. We will be sharing some notable quotes from the published document this week.

"A Surgeon General’s Advisory is a public statement that calls the American people’s attention to an urgent public health issue and provides recommendations for how it should be addressed. Advisories are reserved for significant public health challenges that require the nation’s immediate awareness and action."

Another way I've heard it described is "Our feelings are valid and real, but they are not reality". Our emotions are helpful signals to inform us and help us to process what we perceive, so it's important to not ignore or suppress them. However, our emotions are not facts, so it is helpful to make the distinction.
