Message a friend you haven't talked to in a while

Send a short, warm message to someone you have lost touch with.

Why it helps

Friendships often fade through silence, not conflict. Most people are glad to hear from you, and a small message is often all it takes to restart the connection.

How to do it

1. Pick one person who came to mind recently.
2. Write one or two sentences: say you thought of them and ask how they are.
3. Send it without waiting for the perfect words.

Make it easier

Send just a single emoji-free line: 'Thinking of you, hope you're well.'

Make it harder

Suggest a specific time for a call in the next two weeks.
