A True Friendship is good for your Health !
(Friendship Day Special)
As a famous quote says 'Friendships are good for health', so are its benefits for life too. Good friends come as a package of goodness....Friendships make the boring everyday life easy. For someone who is Aging, a group of good friends make it easy to forget those younger days. For someone battling to face Retirement, true friends make even the idle days look restful and happier.
Motivation, Encouragment are the attributes of friendship. Someone who is looking to join a health club or a fitness center is likely to attend all sessions of training if a friend goes along...lets say this way, even a 10k run is interesting to those who participate with friends than to those who are just fitness and health conscious but alone.
People tend to show Increased boldness towards new challenges in life like relocating to new countries or places, or quitting a job and joining a new one if a friend encourages. A new friendship erases loneliness in a stranger country or at a new job place. Any healthy lifestyle changes like becoming a vegan if a friend is ready to accompany or quit smoking and consuming alcohol etc get easier if ones friends cooperate and encourage. Among kids, friendships encourage studying well and increased outdoor activities, which enable a healthy lifestyle from childhood
A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow- said William Shakespeare. If we can elaborate it...a friend knows me along with my weaknesses and strengths, what i went through in life from childhood, accepts me even when i am rude or silly, and still, gently allows me to grow closer in friendship.....can we find such a friend?! I have a couple of them...count your many blessings-friends!! Happy Friendship Day..celebrate your friendship now !!!
