Devise a regular activity around a shared love or interest. Begin a book club,
a women's enterpriser group, or simply arrange for a steady monthly
brunch. Here are a few additional ideas:
Volunteer - every month, choose a different project to do as a group.
Give your time at a local food bank, set up a group visit to a sick friend,
tidy up a community space, or fund-raise for a great cause.
A "gourmet" group - choose a fresh restaurant monthly to try.
Put your resources together - Donate income to cancer research or
additional causes that have significance for you.
Animals furnish unconditional love. They likewise help us handle stress. A
study of Greater New York stockbrokers who were taking medicine for
hypertension, found that when stockbrokers took a pet into there homes,
their tension levels dropped dramatically. Nearly one-half of them were able
to get off of their medicine altogether.
I'd only advise getting a pet if you've time to correctly care for it. If you do,
Think about adopting - contact your local animal shelter or visit the Pet
Finder site to find pet shelters and rescue groups in your region.
