Why Social Wellness Matters for Your Overall Wellbeing

July is officially Social Wellness Month - a perfect opportunity to reflect on the relationships that uplift and support you. While personal wellness practices like journaling, exercise, and mindfulness are essential, social wellbeing plays an equally important role in your overall health.

Strong, healthy relationships are proven to reduce stress, improve mental health, and increase happiness. This month try to focus on small, meaningful ways to nurture those connections.

Easy Social Wellness Tips for July

Whether you’re reconnecting with old friends or making new ones, here are five simple ways to prioritise your social wellbeing this month:

1. Reach Out to Loved Ones

Take a moment to message, call, or visit someone you haven’t spoken to recently. Even a quick “thinking of you” message can help strengthen bonds.

2. Plan a Screen-Free Meet-Up

Organise a catch-up without digital distractions. Whether it’s a coffee, nature walk, or weekend brunch, being fully present makes every interaction more meaningful.

3. Practise Active Listening

Improve your communication by truly listening during conversations. Show genuine interest, ask questions, and avoid interrupting - it builds trust and deeper connection.

4. Set Social Goals in Your Journal

Use your wellness journal to jot down social intentions like 'Meet Sarah for coffee' or 'Join a local book club.' Written goals make it easier to prioritise relationships.

5. Try Something New

Step out of your comfort zone by joining a new group, class, or community event. Shared activities are a great way to meet like-minded people.
