Reach out to a friend and make intentional plans</h2><p>It is easy to subconsciously agree to plans that you have no real intention of following through with. Text or call one of your good friends and plan to meet for lunch or go on an outing. Be sure to add these plans to your calendar!</p><h2>2. Make connections through your connections </h2><p>Think about the people you live with, maybe your children or spouse. Connect with your kid’s friend’s parents by planning a playdate. Connect with your partner’s friend’s partner by planning a double date. It is easier to connect with people that have things in common with you. </p><h2>3. Ask 3 friends how you can pray for them </h2><p>The question “How can I pray for you?” allows you and your friends to be vulnerable with each other. Tell your friends how they can pray for you in return. Create a space that is comfortable for both of you.
