Greetings and may this blog find you in superb health with your Medicare insurance coverage 🏥 working properly.
Even though the Annual Election Period ended on the 7th, we’re still busy talking with clients all over. Book a time on my calendar or email Gray, Gray@theBig65.com. If you still have questions, I’ll be working till the 31st🎉.
Plato has been busy too… hounding neighbors like Vickie for treats😂 when we go walking.
We ran into John and Debbie on the trails and it was fun catching up.
Mookie always barks like a maniac when you walk by his yard. But if you stop and say hello, he is the sweetest dog on the planet.
Socializing, even casually, can boost serotonin, the “feel-good” chemical, and oxytocin, the “bonding hormone.” These chemicals help reduce stress and promote feelings of happiness and trust.
I make it a point to always say “hello” to strangers and it makes me feel like I’m walking tall😊.
Engaging in friendly chats can decrease cortisol, the stress hormone. Less stress means a healthier heart, better sleep, and a stronger immune system.
Quantz has joined a flower arranging class and I know she looks forward to it.
Being part of a community—even in a small way—helps combat loneliness. This sense of connection is vital for mental and emotional well-being, especially as we age.
Casual conversations stimulate your brain, keeping you mentally sharp and engaged. When Quantz couldn’t go to her flower class this week, since it was paid for, I went in her place and actually had fun trying something new.
Here are the simple steps to building low stakes friendships:
- Be Open to Conversations: Make eye contact, smile, and engage in small talk during daily activities.
- Frequent the Same Places: Visit the same coffee shop, park, or community center to create familiarity.
- Practice Kindness: Compliments or simple acts of kindness can start a connection.
- Join Local Activities: Consider joining clubs, walking groups, or community events to meet new people.
These brief, positive interactions don’t just benefit you; they brighten the day of the other person as well. A kind word or shared laugh can ripple outward, creating a chain of good feelings in your community.
As we navigate the holiday season, low-stakes friendships remind us that a connection doesn’t always have to be deep to be meaningful. I challenge you to reach out and make a connection with someone new this week. Report your connection and we’ll send you honey🐝. Q is still filling bottles.
Keep squeezing the juice out of life and look for ways to help others!
If family or friends need help… referrals are the lifeblood of my business.
