We are all supported by a vast network of friends, family and colleagues. Some of us form easy social level relationships with many people; others can quickly form deep bonds with a few significant people, whilst a third group will be uncomfortable with more than three or four people that they don’t know in the room. Recognise those who are supporting you and the relationship that you have with them. Invest in those relationships.

That means that you need to make time for them, to think of them, to remember things about them, to be there when they need you. And you will need to do this differently for each person in your network. However, you will probably already do this unconsciously. If you feel that the relationship is not going well or you are feeling disconnected, then bring that person to your conscious attention. You will soon feel what aspects of the relationship have been withering and what you need to do to fix that.

Who do you need to reconnect with this weekend? What will the cost be if you don’t do that? What will the benefits be if you do?
