Week #227 – Spread Happyness: Phone a friend!
Happy Friday, Everyone!
We’re now halfway through January 2019 — and the holiday hubbub is officially over!
(That said…can I get an amen from anyone who still has their tree up, like me?!)
Maybe you’ve set some resolutions, goals, or intentions for the year. Maybe you’ve packed up and put away Christmas 2018. Maybe you are now in hibernation mode, counting the days until Spring…or Memorial Day…or the Summer Solstice.
Or maybe you’re just licking your wounds from too many obligations over the holidays.
The first few weeks of January are a popular time to clear out all that holiday and end-of-the-year clutter. But the post-holiday “winter” months (and I put it in quotes because I know not everyone is under a pretty blanket of fresh snow) are a great time to reconnect with your “very best-est” friends.
Because after weeks of expectations, obligations, and over-scheduling…it’s high time to refuel and put a little back in the tank.
In hospitality, I see it every day. Ladies are lunching, couples are reconnecting, and groups are getting back to their regularly scheduled meetings.
This is a great time to reconnect with your “tribe” (whomever that is).
So if you’re bummed that the holidays are over, or you’re feeling a little isolated or cabin-fevery, don’t go it alone! Phone a friend…and reconnect to your tribe!
Your Happyness Challenge for the Week Ahead: PHONE A FRIEND! The post-holiday gap is a great time to reach out to people you may have missed during the holidays — or the ones you didn’t get to spend enough time with. Plan a post-holiday lunch, celebrate missed birthdays, help each other take down those holiday decorations (Anyone? Anyone?), or get out of the house for a long, linger-y lunch or late afternoon coffee. Bonus points for helping each other set goals, build dreams, or make plans for the year ahead! đ
