About 15 minutes into your daily walk you begin to think about your old high school and university friends. The more you think about them, it becomes clear to you that it’s been a long time since you connected with this group of friends.
During this walk down memory lane you begin to laugh at some of the memories and realize that some of your best times happened during high school and university. Your friends were important social connections that provided you support and confidence that you realize played a role in shaping who you are today.
This simple exercise provides you with some profound insights, one being that you no longer are in touch with several names on your list. You conclude that there’s nothing stopping you from reaching out. All it requires is an effort to reconnect. You don’t need a reason other than to say, “Hello, I was thinking about you and wondering how you’re doing.”
