1. Maintain regular contact with friends.

Do you know how sometimes you leave a party or event feeling happy and energised? This is a sign of social wellbeing at work. So, to keep your social wellbeing topped up, schedule regular contact with your friends. You could meet for coffee every week or month or start a club together. Find something you all enjoy!

2. Attend classes at a nearby community centre.

What better way to get to know the people in your neighbourhood? Taking a class or two at your local community centre improves your social well-being while also potentially improving your physical health or teaching you a new skill.

3. Spend quality time with family and friends.

It can be difficult to make time for it, especially if they live a long distance away, but talking with your family or other loved ones can help you improve your social wellbeing. After all, your loved ones are usually some of your closest friends. You don’t have to go on a cross-country road trip every weekend to reap the benefits of this; even a weekly phone call can significantly improve your social well-being.

4. Perform volunteer work

It may sound like cliche advice, but volunteering improves your social wellbeing while also benefiting the larger community. You’ll see firsthand what a difference a few people can make, as well as how this benefits so many people, as you pick up litter, clean rocks, plant flowers, or provide other essential services.

5. Honor your traditions and culture.

Nowadays, more and more people are recognising the value of preserving traditions. Traditions are important and play an important role in many cultures. Traditions are also very social and involve a large number of people. As a result, it’s no surprise that honouring your traditions and culture can boost your social well-being. Cook a traditional recipe, observe a traditional event or holiday, or start a new tradition.

6. Join a group that shares your interests.

Do you have any favourite hobbies or interests, such as a favourite TV show, hobby, or sport? When you meet people who share your interests, it can greatly improve your social well-being! Look for a group near you online, or swap tips and post videos online.

7. Take part in community events.

Participating in community events such as parades, parties, bake-offs, or competitions can be a memorable experience. All of the planning and preparation can create a genuine sense of excitement and anticipation. Then, when the big day arrives and your hard work pays off, you’ll be overjoyed. To stay up to date on local and state events, visit your local community centre or join an online “What’s on near me” group.
