Rediscovering Your Loved Ones & Staying Connected

01 December, 2021

It’s easy to get into our daily routines. We wake up in the morning, go to work, come home and eat dinner, talk with friends on Facebook or watch TV until we fall asleep. It’s all too easy for us to forget about what really matters in life. We can become numb to the people who care about us most—our loved ones.

While it may be difficult at times, making time for your loved ones is important if you want a healthy relationship that will last long-term. The thing is, love doesn’t just go away. It changes and evolves. The problem is that in a long-term relationship or even with family members, it can be easy to get complacent with each other or to take loved ones granted. This post will explore ways you can rediscover those who are closest in your life and make sure they know how much you adore them!

Reconnect Each Day For Stability

When you have been with someone for a while, it’s easy to get “comfortable.” You all have your daily routines and interests. Of course, you love each other, however, if one person does not make an effort to keep the connection strong and healthy by spending time with their partner or family members then that connection will deteriorate.

When you have a partner, it’s important to reconnect each day and stay connected for stability in the relationship. Try starting your morning with an intimate moment together such as sharing coffee or tea and having breakfast at home instead of rushing out the door before work! You can also make time to connect after work or during lunch or dinner.

Additionally, it’s important to make time for your partner and family members during the weekdays as well. Make a date night once a week or at least once every two weeks with them! This will help you stay connected while still allowing each person their personal space in order to be productive throughout the day/week.

No Need To Book A Restaurant Or Go To The Movies

There's no need to book a restaurant or go to the movies! There are plenty of at-home ideas that you can do without spending a lot of money to connect with loved ones! Whether it’s a board game, card game, or even just a simple puzzle, playing games is a fun and easy way to spend time with your loved ones. More ideas are watching your favourite movie or TV show, cooking dinner together while catching up about each other's day, going for a walk around the neighbourhood, or if we are talking about your partner taking a bath/shower together! The key is to be creative and have fun. By doing this, you will not only strengthen your relationship with your loved ones, but you will also create lasting memories.

A NO-DIG alternative to a backyard swimming pool

Dive into a world of fitness and relaxation with our exceptional range of swim spas. Swim spas are our largest spas and because they can be heated, you can use them as a swimming pool all year round. They’re a great fitness machine with hydro massage seating at the other end to assist recovery and muscle mobility.

Swim spas will also encourage much needed active play for children, especially when technology is such a part of their lives these days. Sapphire swim spas can be built 3.5m, 4.0m, 4.5m, 5.0m and the largest at 6.0m, to fit into most backyards

Benefits of a Human Connection

A human connection is the single most important, scientifically validated predictor of happiness. The research consistently shows that people who are more connected to others rank themselves happier than those with less connections. According to recent studies, humans are social animals and need a sense of connection with others in order to be happy and thrive. In fact, some experts have even gone as far as calling loneliness “the health epidemic of the 21st century.” That is why it is so important to find ways to connect with your loved ones, whether that be in person or online. Making a human connection is something that makes us happier, more fulfilled people.

Loneliness can be just as detrimental to health and happiness as obesity. It's hard to overestimate the effects of not only loneliness but social isolation on the quality of life over time. Social media can be a great way to cure your boredom but it does not replace true human contact - it can supplement the lack of it if done right. You must consciously choose to foster connections or risk losing them year after year after year. Investments in relationships grow stronger at depth over time through conscious intentionality and willingness to share personal experiences outside oneself which build trust among other people so they feel safe enough to do the same.

Pop Into The Backyard After Dinner

One of the simplest and easiest ways to connect with your family is by taking a walk or simply stepping outside after dinner. You can take an extended stroll through the backyard and enjoy nature, go for a quick run around the block, play catch in the front lawn - whatever you want! So long as you are doing something together and not always indoors. If you have a spa pool then why not use it? It's not sitting there for aesthetics - it's meant to be used! Quality time with your loved ones, kids, partner or nieces and nephews is a fantastic thing to do cause it's relaxing and there is no distractions. You can't play with your phones while you're in the spa can you? Use this time to chat and connect over some fun conversation or to find out what's been going on in each others lives.

Conclusion

It's easy to get into a rut, where you do the same things day in and day out. But it's important to make time for each other - even if that means finding new ways to connect. Spending time together doesn't have to be expensive or complicated. A simple walk around the neighbourhood can do wonders, just make sure that you are making an effort to stay connected with your loved ones.
