The more connected through technology we become, the more socially isolated we seem to be, and admitting to loneliness is not considered acceptable. I think that loneliness and lack of friends leads to stress and disease, yet making new friends is often difficult. Many of us are so busy and trying to get into a social group can be daunting. Belleruth Naparstek’s website Health Journeys web site has some good information on boosting self-esteem and reducing stress. I think those are the first steps to good social networks. I also think that taking care of oneself – with guided meditation, plenty of sleep, and time for yourself – is important for getting rid of stress and getting into a positive mindset where friendships can happen.
