We are all worthy of building and enjoying great, healthy and meaningful relationships. We deserve a Social Wellness Strategy. Without relationships, we cannot fully discover, explore, share, grow and develop our abilities.

These abilities include but are not limited to skills, talents, gifts, calling, vocation, life purpose, passions, physical and spiritual attributes, financial and non-financial resources, and a positive family foundation.

Human beings have an inherent desire and potential to connect and build relationships. The greatest pillar of social wellness is our ability to cultivate strong, healthy and meaningful relationships that contribute to a fulfilling life.

Great relationships are the foundation of thriving communities, which in turn produce fulfilled individuals. Therefore, we must be intentional about building and nurturing these relationships.

With the right tools, relationships become powerful and rewarding journeys to explore, pursue, and enjoy. Relationships are not inherently difficult when both parties bring essential abilities such as skills, talents, physical and spiritual attributes, life purpose and financial or non-financial resources.

Unfortunately, many of us are unaware of the key components that foster meaningful connections. We lack the right tools and guidance to navigate relationships successfully. Fortunately, Life with Terry is committed to changing this.

From childhood, our desire to form relationships manifests in the friendships we build. Friendships remain an essential pillar of social wellness throughout life. Establishing strong, meaningful friendships is a fundamental goal of social wellness, providing us with love, support and opportunities for growth and development, even in our professional lives.

To build relationships that align with our identity, needs, life goals, and personal growth, we need a structured social wellness strategy. Meaningful relationships fuel our desire and enthusiasm for connection. However, the journey to building great relationships is not always easy. It involves ups and downs, moments of joy, frustration and even healing from past traumas that hinder our ability to connect deeply. Healing is essential before we can cultivate healthy relationships. Fortunately, where there is intention, commitment and a plan, success follows.

As discussed in our article on How to Create and Live a Fulfilling Life, a fulfilling life includes the ability to solve problems. Life is not without challenges, but these difficulties strengthen us and help build valuable skills that enhance our relationships.

Types of Relationships and Their Role in Social Wellness

Understanding different types of relationships allows us to align with those that best support our personal and professional growth. This awareness is also vital for employers and organizations developing professional wellness strategies. Diversity and inclusivity initiatives must acknowledge employees’ social wellness goals, recognizing that individuals are social beings first before they are professionals.

When examining your current relationships, ask yourself:

  • Are these relationships healthy, meaningful, and fulfilling?
  • Do they align with who I am and my life goals?
  • Are they contributing to my personal growth and development?
  • Do they excite and inspire me?

If your answer is no, then you likely need a Social Wellness Strategy. This strategy helps unpack the objectives and benefits of each relationship, guiding you toward more fulfilling connections.

If you feel drawn to explore certain relationships, listen to your inner voice. Don’t postpone opportunities to build meaningful connections. Investing in relationships today allows you to enjoy their benefits both now and in the future.

Some individuals hesitate to explore new relationships due to societal or religious influences. While belief systems shape our values, it is important to embrace a social wellness approach that aligns with personal growth. If you are not ready for certain relationships, that’s okay—growth happens at your own pace. As the saying goes, when the student is ready, the teacher appears.
