It’s important to make time for your loved ones—especially since feelings of loneliness have negative impacts on overall health and longevity. While more than one-third of adults experience some form of loneliness, community living is one way to overcome this. How? Community life creates natural opportunities to connect with others. Take an art class, learn how to play rummy, or join a walking club, travel group, or volunteer project—the door to new connections is always open.
Fill your calendar with activities scheduled by a range of social clubs, enjoy group lectures, watch musical performances, or attend a new exercise class every week. If you don’t see something that sparks your interest, it’s easy to start your own social club, too! There’s always something to do and a friendly face to do it with.
