Friendship- For A More Fulfilling Life

Most of the meaningful and fulfilling moments in our life have friendships running through them. Maintaining friendships might be hard sometimes but for a longer, happier and more fulfilling life, it’s certainly worth the effort. Friendships can have a major impact on our health and well-being. It is an excellent measure for physical and emotional pain. The emotional health perks we receive from our friends can also impact our physical health. Friendships are a form of social connection and studies have indicated that “social connections help relieve harmful levels of stress, which can harm the heart’s arteries, gut function, insulin regulation, and the immune system.” Friends can increase our sense of belonging and purpose, boost our happiness and improve our self-worth.

We also need friends to achieve our goals and bring ideas to action. Ideas are worthless unless worked upon, and one of the best ways to get into action is to share your goals and ideas with friends. They will actually make you work toward your goals. People need encouragement in their lives and friends provide us with encouragement. 

No one ever feels lonely in the company of friends. Friendship prevents loneliness and gives us a chance to offer needed companionship. Spending time with friends is deeply satisfying and improves our mood and self-esteem. Friendship reduces stress and helps us cope with traumas and loss. People place great value in their friends and they often turn to them first in times of crisis. Like the adage goes-“A friend in need is a friend indeed,” when we are facing a difficult situation in our lives, our friends always come forward with support and kind words. We must be grateful that we have friends in our lives to give us support and encouragement.

Our friends are integral to our lives and we should show our appreciation for them. And the occasion of Friendship Day provides us an excellent opportunity to convey our love and gratitude for them. We could celebrate the occasion together with our best friend and present friendship gifts for her. Our friends would definitely appreciate the fact that we have invested time and effort in order to celebrate Friendship day together. The occasion will provide a great bonding time and further strengthen the friendship. And even if we are staying far from our friends, we can still send our wishes and love by sending Friendship Day cards online.
