Giving Is Getting. Push Back Against The Gloom.

We are social animals, and that fundamental nature is woven into our threads, dyed into our wool, and doesn’t wash out with time.

Being social can positively impact your emotional state as well. And I’m not talking about being a social butterfly, or building a twitter following, but something more immediate.

Just engaging with other beings, whether your family, dear friends, acquaintances, or even your pets provides is an emotional tonic.

We are in the bleak mid-winter and people can be affected to a greater or lesser degree by the weather gloom around us. Although Seasonal Affective Disorder can move your emotional needle in a negative direction, you can push back. And one way to do that is to make contact with people, chat, give and receive the interpersonal commerce of communication.

Be social, reach out, and give a second to engage with others. You will receive as much as you give, because it turns out that Giving Is Also Getting.
