Day 05 - Connect & Reconnect
By WWTW Fundraising on
Welcome to Day Five of our Longest Day 80 calendar! Today marks the beginning of our connection series, where we focus on fostering meaningful relationships and uniting in remembrance.
The Challenge
Today’s activity is all about reaching out to a friend—whether they’re old or new. In our busy lives, it's easy to lose touch with the people who matter to us. Let’s take a moment to change that.
Reconnect and Unite
Think of a friend or family member you've been meaning to contact. Now is the perfect time to reconnect. Here are some simple ways to reach out:
- Send a Text: A quick message can brighten someone’s day
- Make a Call: Hearing a familiar voice can be incredibly uplifting
- Arrange a Meet-Up: Plan to meet for coffee, lunch, or even a gym session
Why It Matters
Connecting with friends and family is crucial for our mental and emotional well-being. Regular check-ins help us support each other through life's ups and downs.
Conversation Starters
Not sure what to talk about? Share your Longest Day 80 challenge! Here are some topics to get you started:
- Your Challenge: Explain what you’re doing for the Longest Day 80. How are you progressing?
- Involvement: Discuss ways they can support you, whether it is cheering you on or joining in the challenge themselves.
Use this opportunity to deepen your connections. Genuine conversations can strengthen bonds and provide mutual encouragement.
