Well-Being Week in Law, May 2-6, Thursday: Connect – Social Well-Being

Connect: Social Well-Being 
How to Participate in Well-Being Week Today? 

WATCH THIS: Creating More Lollipop Moments, TEDx talk, 6 mins. Drew Dudley talks about how
everyday acts of kindness or social connection can have a large impact.

READ THIS: Want Stronger Relationships at Work? Change the Way You Listen, by Manbir Kaur.
Conversations that encourage cooperation and understanding result in the release
of hormones like oxytocin that reinforce a bonding experience.

DO THIS: Be a Joy Multiplier. Read about how enthusiastically responding to others’ good
news (called Active Constructive Responding or ACR) builds trust and connection.
Then peruse an ACR Worksheet created by the Consortium for Health and Military
Performance (yes, the U.S. military teaches ACR!) and get started today practicing
your ACR skills to build stronger relationships.
