How to Improve our Relationships

Love. For some it’s what we live for. Humans are social beings, akin to pack animals by nature and we generally flourish in community. We have an inborn desire to be part of a group and encircle ourselves with loving and supportive people who care for us. Social health is about forming positive relationships and dealing with conflict resolution fairly and productively, in personal, community and multi-societal relationships. We can offer to be of service to others, just being there for a friend in need and listening is more powerful than we know. Here are some tips to recognize the difference between healthy patterns and toxic patterns, so we can have the most meaningful lives possible!
