Day Fifteen’s Challenge:
Reconnect with a friend you’ve not seen or spoken to in a while.

Today’s challenge is to reconnect with a friend you’ve not seen in a while. Set up a lunch or dinner date and get caught up. This is another of those challenges where people ask, how is that taking care of me? The answer is simple: connecting with people is critical to our spiritual well-being. At the same time, you are giving of yourself when you interact with people, and as I stated earlier, being able to give of yourself without draining your personal resources is one of the purposes of self-care. Connecting or reconnecting with someone who you care about and cares about you is a mutually beneficial exchange.

So even if you don’t have time to have that lunch or dinner or coffee date today, take the time to schedule that rendezvous. If your friend lives too far away to meet in person, take the time to call and chat for while. As much as reconnecting will mean to you, it likely will mean as much or more to her or him.
