Spend Time with Others
Purpose
We all need some alone time every once in a while, but too much time alone can leave you feeling isolated or out of touch with others. Spend time with a friend or family member or hang out with a group to develop relationships, make memories, and learn.
Goal Description

Goal Ideas

Write down a list of questions you could ask to start a conversation; then keep the conversation going by listening for things you have in common or even things that make you different.
-
Ask someone to teach you how to do something they enjoy. Or offer to be the teacher yourself!
