AN EMERGENCY CALL TO ACTION: A PLAN FOR HAPPINESS When it comes to happiness, our nearest and dearest really matter. Research shows people who have strong relationships with a partner, family or close friends are happier, healthier and live longer. And it works both ways - for us and for them too. Unfortunately we often take our closest relationships for granted. Maintaining them takes conscious attention and effort and there are things we can all do that make a difference. Having a network of social connections or high levels of social support has been shown to increase our immunity to infection, lower our risk of heart disease and reduce mental decline as we get older. Not having close personal ties has been shown to pose significant risks for our health. There is only one true happiness in the world, to love and to be loved What one step can you take right now to strengthen a friendship/relationship? It could be as simple as a phone call or spending a day with a close friend. :-)
