We've gotten so used to texting and e-mailing our friends that we can go for months without hearing their voices! Instead of sending an electronic message, pick up the phone and 'share voices' as you discuss the wedding plans...and catch up on what's going on in each other's lives. The benefit to your peace and harmony? A discussion is probably going to lead to laughter, which produces positive hormones and makes you feel great. Talking keeps you close with your friends, which is also another health benefit -- a positive 'community' is good for your heart health and wards off depression. So put that gizmo down and call for a chat, or -- better yet -- make plans to go for a walk or bike ride with nearby friends...adding exercise to the mix is another health and balance benefit!
