Concerns about work’s impact on health tend to focus on the mental and physical repercussions. But Kasley Killam, a Vancouver native and health consultant now based in California, says that misses an important part of the picture: Social health.
She calls it the paradox of being plugged in. “Ask yourself: Am I using the tools available to connect meaningfully? Or are they substituting for quality time in person with the people I care about?” she writes. Then reflect on the strength of each of those connections. Who would you feel comfortable turning to in an emergency? Who feels like a spark for your soul? Also: Who among the connections should be excluded because they are hurting your health?
After evaluating your situation, you can choose to stretch, increasing the number of relationships or communities you connect with. Or you might decide it’s best to rest – keeping things as they are or even reducing the number of key contacts. You can decide to deepen your connections with some individuals. For others, you might choose to just sustain the existing relationship.
