Even in social life, you will never make a good impression on other people until you stop thinking about what sort of impression you’re making.” ― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

As much as you don’t realize, having a social life is crucial in keeping you sane. It is a great thing to have people you can spend your time with despite the hectic cycle of life. Although you may prefer some alone time once in a while, there are some social changes you can make which will make you happier in life. Take a look at them below and start making the slight changes today.

  1. Stay in contact with friends

It is easy to lose contact with friends and even family. Make an effort to stay in touch, or reconnect with old friends to catch up. Whether a phone call, a text or even getting dressed up in your favourite fashion outfit for a dinner with them, this will definitely make you feel better for it.

2. Try new things

Do things that scare you or open your mind to new things. Opening up to new experiences can be an extremely positive influence and gives meaning to your life. Take some risk and enjoy the thrill of it all.

3. Surround yourself with positive people

You are a reflection of the company that you keep. To be happy, surround yourself with a close group of positive people. Do not be dragged down by negative comments and believe in your own self.

4. Have fun!

All work and no play? Sometimes it is okay to blow off responsibilities and do things you love with friends and family. It helps relieve stress and make you take a moment to appreciate the people who surround you.

5. Be generous

Giving selflessly shares a positive vibe making everybody involved happier. Generosity can have a huge influence in boosting the level of your happiness as it transforms you into a better person.

6. Take social media with a pinch of salt

Social media gives a distorted reality of life — don’t take everything you see on social media channels as gospel, everybody is human behind the filters!
